That doesn't answer my question but let's ignore this for the moment.
Could you please add the lines below at the end of your .emacs file,
restart Emacs, and tell me whether the problem persists (this is by no
means the correct fix but merely a temporary workaround):

(require 'help)

(defun resize-temp-buffer-window ()
  ""
  (unless (or (one-window-p 'nomini)
              (not (pos-visible-in-window-p (point-min)))
              (> (frame-width) (window-width)))
    (fit-window-to-buffer
     (selected-window)
     (if (functionp temp-buffer-max-height)
         (funcall temp-buffer-max-height (current-buffer))
       temp-buffer-max-height))))
