Help index seems fine, and I finally tried on a fresh Mac (with a newer
OS version at that) and no joy there either.
At this point, since it is really only one of these anchors to a page of
help anyway, I am thinking I will rework to name the files what I was
previously calling the anchors and just open the online help in a web
browser, maybe an embedded one in a custom window, to bypass this entire
mess.
Such an ill-behaved help system is not befitting of Apple.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that Apple Help can be frustrating.
I would try to determine if the .helpindex file which was produced by hiutil and copied to your app’s Contents/Resources is valid. The man page for hiutil (man hiutil) lists several modes you can run, in particular -—list-anchors, whose results would be interesting.
If it looks like you have a valid .helpindex which contains your anchors, and is in your Help folder alongside the root .html file, then question the caching again – if you have handy another Mac which has never seen your Help Book, try your app there.
