While we're on the subject of bugs in AS_HELP_STRING, will your proposed patch also address the premature folding of its second argument, if it happens to contain quadrigraphs? This would seem to be because AS_HELP_STRING incorrectly counts the length of a quadrigraph as four characters, when in fact they should be counted as only one. And yes, I know I can work around that by appending additional text after the closing parenthesis of AS_HELP_STRING, but then I loose some of the formatting capability I wanted to use AS_HELP_STRING for, in the first place, so I might as well just use manually preformatted text.
