It's a command, but invoking it interactively yields the same
behavior. You need to have activated an input method that loads some
quail package, before invoking this command, in order to have a help.
korean-hangul doesn't load any quail package, so the command throws an
error.
So I still think a more human-readable error message is in order,
although when invoked interactively the package name is not given, so
some other wording is in order.
It looks like quail-help was designed to be called only by "C-h C-\",
where it behaves reasonably, but since it's a command, it perhaps
should have some minimal harness for when it is invoked by users
directly.
