something. All three of them now give an empty, untitled Help Viewer

I had these symptoms, and it turned out to be something in my html files that Panther's Help Viewer didn't like -- specifically, dubious syntax for a content-type META tag in my index.html. The malformed construct didn't bother any web browsers I tried, and even Help Viewer itself would display the help properly if I opened it from Help Viewer's File menu. The breakage seemed to be in somehow preventing Help Viewer from registering the existence of my help book and adding it to the library.

I tracked this down by experimenting with working vs. non-working Help files. Be aware that the cache in ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.helpui can affect your experiments; I found it necessary to clear that out for each trial.
