Posting for reference:
After a good night's sleep, some logging found this probable location:
ide\idehelpmanager.pas
function TIDEHelpManager.ShowHelpForSourcePosition(const Filename: string;
  const CodePos: TPoint; var ErrMsg: string): TShowHelpResult;

which tries to show context-sensitive help, and on failure shows the
code browser
