Minor bug in nested custom functions help text

Assume the following custom functions:

/**
 * Double a value.
 * 
 * @param {number} x
 * The value.
 * 
 * @customfunction
 */
function doubleIt(x) {
  return x * 2;
}

/**
 * Halve a value.
 * 
 * @param {number} x
 * The value.
 * 
 * @customfunction
 */
function halveIt(x) {
  return x / 2;
}

If I use them individually, the popup help works as expected: I see all the documentation provided.

If I use them together (e.g., =halveIt(doubleIt(7)), the only popup help I get is for whichever is the first function name I select. So, if I edit the cell with that formula and click on halveIt, I see the help for halveIt, and clicking on doubleIt has no effect.

This isn’t a problem with the standard formulas. For example, the formula =EXP(LN(10)) works as expected: clicking on EXP shows me the help text for EXP, and clicking on LN switches to the help text for LN.

Tested in Chrome and Safari on Mac, everything running the latest version.
