On Linux running on either SPARC or PPC, trying to invoke
context-sensitive help (i.e. F1 key over a keyword) fails with a
dialogue e.g. "Unknown error showing
/forms/tapplication/initialize.html". There's no error addresses etc. on
the console, the exception doesn't break the IDE.

Sounds like a bug in lhelp. Can you start lhelp standalone and check?

With the dialogue displayed, the IDE is unresponsive but lhelp is
running. In that state, lhelp allows me to select a file but fails on
SPARC (not tested PPC, don't believe I see this on ARM) with a bus error.

Running lhelp from a shell using gdb gives me

Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error.

I'm not familiar with the chmreader code.
Please create a bug report.

At least it's a pointer dereference... so there must indeed be some misalignment going on...
