They might indicate a real problem in the code (that's what tests are for -- detecting problems before they are actually encountered). Greetings, Maxime.

I don't know if it fails for the upstream author, but I don't think that's relevant to Guix. More relevant I think, is that this bug appears in Guix, so it can cause problems for Guix users, so some fixing might be necessary. I don't know much about Emacs though, so you might need to contact upstream about the bug. Greetings, Maxime.
One of the tests fails. Looks like it's testing whether helpful--docstring and helpful--docstring-advice figure out that a function is advised. I've tried using helpful-* functions from this updated package in Emacs, and it works - advices are shown. So it looks like the tests are broken. (but I don't understand the ert tests, maybe someone else should look at this)
Yes, your pull request have been accepted! Thank you. Mind if I update? I would like helpful to be fixed quickly.
