It _may_ relate to where you install Emacs.

The behavior you observe might be related to my recent changes. Could
you please try to edebug the function `find-lisp-object-file-name' in
help-fns.el and find out why it fails to return an absolute filename for
your settings.

If symbolic links are the cause of the problem I would have to chase
them in a number of cases. In that case it might be simpler to find out
why this worked before my fix.
Thanks in advance, martin.
