Hmmm, looks like you're trying to run the old version of help. There is an updated version (in french) that runs fine:

​http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/helpfr

But the content is for the old 0.82 Sugar as shipped by OLPC, so not much use for 0.86. There would need to be a major floss manuals sprint to pull together new help content for 0.86. And the 0.86 (beta) release was only really available to non-developers as of the weekend so I'm not sure how document type folks would be able to document unreleased software... The 0.86 release notes are not even finalised yet!.

I'm going to close this beacuase help v12 is loading on the xo, re-open if the subject of the bug still applies.
