It appears the intent was to *include* /usr/share/help in the list of paths to look for documentation, however the patch actually causes KDE packages to install documentation in /usr/share/help instead of /usr/share/doc/HTML. This breaks the "nodoc" feature of portage, and may possibly have more unintended consequences. Reproducible: Always
No, kdoctools is not causing other packages to install to /usr/share/help, packages themselves are installing now to /usr/share/help in EAPI-7.
If you don't want to have files installed in /usr/share/help by KDE packages, then set USE=-handbook globally.

Sorry for assuming this was the reason. It was the only thing I could tell had changed. The handbook USE flag is already disabled globally. So far kdoctools and gwenview have both installed files to /usr/share/help when previously they did not install these files anywhere. Is there another cause for this?
Disregard, the files were still in the image but were not installed due to FEATURES="nodoc". Adding /usr/share/help to INSTALL_MASK resolved the issue.
Yes, but there's still a bug there - gwenview ebuild needs to switch to KDE_HANDBOOK=forceoptional, so your report was not for nothing. ;)
