Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

I fully agree that help(bound method) should be consistent. I just feel that it 
should be consistently correct ;-).

Help(ob) is intended for interactive use (Guido has said, but feel free to ask 
again), and indeed, is an optional interactive feature, and not a built-in. So 
I believe we are free to change the output to something better (as with 
Exception messages). For some things (classes), it prints out too much and 
Guido would like a bit less printed.
