Comment (by Braad):

 The issue appears to be originating in /wp-admin/js/inline-edit-post.js,
 where this selector is used throughout that file:

 {{{
 $('table.widefat')
 }}}

 Since these aren't scoped to just the quick edit section a <table> with
 the class "widefat" inside the Help tabs (or really anywhere else on the
 page) is getting targeted also.

 There is even a selector that is just ".widefat" on line 291, which could
 potentially cause other side effects when the class is used on inputs and
 other elements anywhere on the page.
