Curious. It's

  local HELPDIR="${HELPDIR:-/usr/share/zsh/$ZSH_VERSION/help}"

for me. zsh is not even installed, only zsh-beta:

  piper:~|master|% echo $ZSH_VERSION
  4.3.9-dev-3-cvs0513
  piper:~|master|% readlink -f $SHELL
  /bin/zsh-beta
  piper:~|master|% dpkg -l zsh-beta | grep \^ii
  ii  zsh-beta             4.3.9-dev-3+20090513 A shell with lots of features 
(dev tree)

/usr/share/zsh does not exist, and
/usr/share/zsh-beta/functions/Misc/run-help has the right contents.

I have a few other run-help files around, but none of them get
loaded:

  /srv/home/madduck/debian/pkg/zsh/zsh/Functions/Misc/run-help
  /srv/home/madduck/debian/pkg/zsh/zsh/Functions/Misc/run-help-git
  /srv/home/madduck/debian/pkg/zsh/zsh/Functions/Misc/run-help-svk
  /srv/home/madduck/debian/pkg/zsh/zsh/Functions/Misc/run-help-svn
  /usr/lib/libgksu/gksu-run-helper
  /usr/share/zsh-beta/functions/Misc/run-help
  /usr/share/zsh-beta/functions/Misc/run-help-git
  /usr/share/zsh-beta/functions/Misc/run-help-svk
  /usr/share/zsh-beta/functions/Misc/run-help-svn

but I don't know how they would have any effect. To be sure, I moved
/srv/home/madduck/debian/pkg/zsh/zsh/Functions/Misc/run-help out of
the way, but the problem stayed.

grep -r run-help $ZDOTDIR returns nothing.

I don't know how to figure out exactly which run-help gets loaded.
${^fpath}/$function(-.N) gives
/usr/share/zsh-beta/functions/Misc/run-help.

There must be critters in my box.
