Thanks, I have a few minor comments.

In the Info manuals, we give "nil" the @code markup: non-@code{nil}.

Please also add here an index entry, so that readers could find this
information quickly.  Suggestion:

 @cindex help-echo text, avoid command-key substitution

Also, please add the description of this face to the list in "Special
Properties".

   ^^^^^^^^^^
I'd use "conversions" here, in plural.

> +  return Fsubstitute_command_keys(help);
                                    ^
Our convention is to leave one blank between a function's name and the
opening parenthesis.
