To reproduce:
(1) Launch Nautilus
(2) Type "help:nautilus" in location bar and hit Enter key

Sometimes this works, and you see the first page of the Nautilus help in the
content view (as displayed by Mozilla). Other times, the content view turns gray
forever, and the window title and sidebar never update to show the real page
title. I don't know the difference between the cases. I seem to hit the
non-working case more often when using a debugger, for what it's worth. Perhaps
an uninitialized variable or memory-trasher somewhere?

I've experienced this bug in the past, and it has only occured to me when 
within the debugger. I am not quite sure how to debug such a bug? (and it could 
be a general mozilla bug - have you tried loading a HTML file within Nautilus 
while in the debugger?)

I haven't seen this any time recently on any web page other than the help ones.
But I don't debug web stuff often so I might have just been lucky. I agree with
Ali that the bug seems to happen more often when in the debugger -- I can't
swear that I've ever seen it without the debugger.

I've been unable to duplicate this bug, repeatedly using "help:nautilus" as well
as typing "help" for many other apps for which there are gnome docs on my
system, including both those with static html and those with sgml for which
gnome-db2html is generating html on the fly. I never use the debugger.

Since nobody has been able to reproduce this problem recently, changing to
WORKSFORME.
