No, I don't agree. As Dean has said, the site at doc.ubuntu.com is
always up to date with the latest docteam branches - it's updated
every 12 hours.

It hardly ever happens that someone reports a bug which has already
been fixed in the documentation, but when it does, it's extremely easy
to find out. I really don't think there is a problem here worth
solving.

I agree. At the moment we don't have a good process in place for
deploying updates to documentation - so our documentation doesn't
change after release and help.u.c is up to date. When planning how to
deploy updates, ensuring help.ubuntu.com is up to date has always been
central to that discussion. Either way, the website will be kept up to
date and peoples' natural assumption will be correct :)
