The difference between the two use cases is largely accidental (due to
details of how the definition-prefixes functionality works). I don't
think tweaking the definition-prefixes would be wise way to solve
this problem.
(describe-function 'text-scale-adjust) suffers from the same "problem".
We have not treated this as a problem until now, but if we want to treat
it as a problem, then I suggest we do it by refining the way
`help-enable-autoload` works.
E.g. with the patch below.
