FWIW, i think i finally understood a way to get out of this loop --- invoke a ehelp-buffer, and then press 'r' to retain it, and the previous loop is gone... (am a big user or ehelp my C-h-->'ehelp, and have observed all the same points you mentioned, and imho too, as you said, the buffer retained upon quitting should be a help buffer, the follow-links should work, the quit should be clean, the 'ehelp-loop' would do better to be a 'local' thing somehow... ) DG --
