I quote from my original bug report:

Currently, help-follow and help-follow-mouse signal an error= if there's
nothing to follow= . However, help-follow-symbol does not, which means
that C-c C-c in the help buffer when over an arbitrary n= on-symbol does
nothing and says n= othing.

That's not just inconsistent, but a bit disconcer= ting, as sometimes
following a sy= mbol can be slow. In my build, it takes a second or more
