I'm using v.10415 on a Mac, downloaded from the website. Upon first startup, the Help menu shows just"Search","Module Help","Online Manual" and"Developer's Guide". After loading a pipeline, suddenly many more options are visible in the same Help menu (Intro, Using CellProfiler, Data Tool Help, etc). Clearly, these should be available upon first startup.
Also some of the menu items have indication that there are submenus but without any content in the submenus (e.g. if you pick Using CP then select Navigating The Menu Bar, there are no further options, and if you select Navigating The Menu Bar nothing happens).

I just tested the Mac 10997 release version. Here are my observations:
(1) Upon launch, the Help menu does not display all items it should, only Module Help, Online Manual, and Developer's Guide
(2) Loading a pipeline does *not* add any items to the Help menu
(3) Opening an image changes the whole menubar to that of the opened image, as it should (i.e. File, Tools, Subplot, Window, Help -> Using...)
(4) Clicking back onto the main CP GUI apparently restores the main Help menu as it should have been from the start, i.e. Help -> Introduction, Help-> Using CP,...)
(5) The nested Help still does not work beyond the first level, in Using CellProfiler
