It does get selected here on Windows XP. What happens when you set
`help-window-select' to t? Did you create the *Help* window with
`with-help-window'? If so, please tell me the value of the
'quit-restore window parameter of the *Help* window.

When there is "no such other window" the selected window "is not the
only other window on the help window's frame". What am I missing?
