Clicking on a specific link from a specific help buffer results in an error. On Emacs 25.3, from emacs -q:
M-/ (dabbrev-expand)
C-h v dabbrev-select-buffers-function
<TAB> <TAB> <RET> (navigate to the second link and click it)
results in:
apply: Wrong number of arguments: #[(fun file &optional type) "ÄÅ!\bÆ=.
