Ubuntu ships our documentation in the wrong format and in the wrong location. GnuCash expects to find the documentation in docbook format and located in /usr/share/help. What you have found in /usr/share/docs is the html formatted version of our documentation. That's only meant for general consumption via a browser, not via gnucash (on linux). It was never even intended to be distributed via linux distributions, though distributions are free to do so. It's just not the format gnucash itself expects to present to you. This is a bug that was already in the upstream Debian distribution. Meanwhile is has been fixed there. I'm not sure what's needed to get the fix in Ubuntu. Probably a bug report in the Ubuntu bug tracker ?
