If I recall correctly, passing 'modules' to help() does something funny like actually loading every module it can find. I can understand how this might have side effects, maybe expose bugs in other modules, and even cause weird failures when running the test suite! :P

Correct. I don't think that we want to do that (loading every module it can find) in the Python test suite.
