AFAICS that is already fixed (r49467).
It was a Windows-only problem when building just chm help - I suspect
the latter did not work in your package.
I should perhaps remind people that R-devel is 'unstable' and as we
work on the help system it is likely to be particularly unstable on
Windows (since there are features such as this one that are only
exercised there).
Reports on R-devel are welcome, but most useful if they are about
things that have persisted for a few days.
