   Why is that?  Can you debug it?

It seems to be a result of a feature that, I believe, Stefan
implemented whereby, in a docstring, RET or Mouse-2 lead to the doc of
anything that has a definition as a Lisp variable, face or function,
regardless of whether it is quoted.  So if you do RET on say
"and, or, when, if, not", even if non-quoted and even if used as plain
English words instead of Lisp symbols, you get the doc of the
corresponding Lisp function.  In particular, this is true of the word
locate.
