the simple version is a hack like this:
m4_ifdef([AS_HELP_STRING], , [m4_define([AS_HELP_STRING], m4_defn([AC_HELP_STRING]))])

alternatively try this code that fixes some bracket quoting bugs; i hope
the gnus merge it soon.
m4_undefine([AS_HELP_STRING])
m4_define([AS_HELP_STRING],
[m4_pushdef([AS_Prefix], m4_default([$3], [                          ]))dnl
m4_pushdef([AS_Prefix_Format],
           [  %-]m4_eval(m4_len(AS_Prefix) + 1)[s ])dnl [  %-23s ]
m4_text_wrap([$2], AS_Prefix, [m4_format(AS_Prefix_Format, [[[$1]]])])dnl
m4_popdef([AS_Prefix_Format])dnl
m4_popdef([AS_Prefix])dnl
])
