The culprit is

  http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gtk-doc/trunk/xmldocs.make?r1=388&r2=413

which changed the installations directories from $(gtkdochelpdir)
to $(docdir).

However, the new version matches exactly the current
gnome-common's of xmldocs.make:

  http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-common/trunk/doc-build/xmldocs.make?revision=3486&view=markup

So, whose mistake it is?  And this is not a rhetorical
question, I can tell what some code does, but not what it
was supposed to do.

docdir is set to the correct value in the Makefile snippet

  docdir = $(datadir)/gnome/help/$(docname)/$(lang)

and if some packaging magic overrides docdir...
