If the programs just gives a message saying "Help file is
unavailable", I won't consider this a breakage.
But if it gives a segmentation fault when you try to open the help
file and it's missing, I would say that this is a breakage.

Unfortunately it's too much subjective to define what is a break. A
user may think that a missing help file is a break, while another one
just don't care about this missing file.
