Can we first be sure about what happens when: 
Here are detailed instructions (please, other "listeners" try them too!):

1) After starting R (M-x R), 
2) inside *R* buffer type
      C-c C-v lm <Enter>
		  you should now be inside a newly created buffer
		  "*help[R](lm)*
3) Type
	ss    
	        = [S]kip to the "[S]ee also" section in the help buffer
	C-n C-n      
		(advance two lines: "the cursor" (the "point" in Emacs-lingo)
		 should now be somewhere on the word 'summary.lm')
4) Type
	h 
		(in the minibuffer, you should be prompted with
		"Help on: (default summary.lm) "
	<Enter>
		-> the help page for summary.lm opens in yet
		   another new buffer.


- Can you tell exactly where the above differs for you?

- Could you also try with a non-alpha version of Emacs, i.e.  
  Emacs 21.3 or 21.4 ?
