Correct.

Correct, as the inclusion of the .chm file is done during the binary
build.

It's done deliberately, but I agree that it's a bit inconsistent. Could
you file a bug report about this? Thanks in advance :)

How to repeat:
See above.

A patch for this bug has been committed. After review, it may
be pushed to the relevant source trees for release in the next
version. You can access the patch from:

  http://lists.mysql.com/internals/30929

Not sure if this is worth documenting, but this should now be fixed for all upcoming releases.
(4.0.27, 4.1.16, 5.0.15)

I am going to say no to the need to have a changelog entry as this is not a MySQL bug nor is it a functionality change.
