The question here is whether you want to follow that "chain of calls" in
the same window where *Help* appeared or in another one - by default the
one selected when you did C-h f.

Since you use the idiom "pop back" it seems that you did manage to use the
former *Help* window for "s".

> I don't want the buffer config to be restored after `s'.

Does "s" ever do such a thing?  What is a "buffer config"?  A window
configuration?
