No advice from Mac users? I use linux but have seen this type of problem
reported several times.

One thing is, a package from one source very rarely works with one from another
source. I unpacked the help pkg archive and just what is expected, basically a
HTML installation. Should be in ...share/gimp/2.0/help (maybe)

As an alternative, although standalone, there is a PDF here
