I cannot duplicate this in gvim 7.2.101 for MS Windows ("Cream"
build). I see gvim jump to the tab/window containing the file.
(Whoops, guess that's just because of some option I'm setting, not
sure which one. Launching Vim with -N -u NONE allows me to duplicate
this behavior).

I really like this behavior. I usually have several help windows open
in different tabs to avoid jumping around in the help when I already
have visited all the locations I need.
