this is known bug in AS_HELP_STRING.  Unfortunately, we have not
managed to solve it for the upcming release, Autoconf 2.60.

As a workaround you could try to add _three_ pairs of brackets:

AC_ARG_ENABLE([jooo],
[AS_HELP_STRING([[[[--enable-jooo=one,two]]]], [the long text
the long text the long text the long text the long text the long text
the long text the long text the long text the long text the long text
the long text the long text the long text the long text the long text
])])

It seems to work with 2.59 and the 2.60 pre-release.

(But I suppose that with 2.61 two or three of the bracket pairs will
be displayed.  Nothing serious, just cosmetics.)

Hope this helps,
