Further update as per Harris Tech Support this morning:

I do have good news for you, however. The issue with IDL Help on Mac is related to a recent update Apple pushed alongside OSX 10.12.5. This bug was address and will be fixed in IDL 8.6.1. Even better, IDL 8.6.1 releases sometime today. Once installed, IDL Help should function as expected for you.

In the mean time, the work-around is to copy/paste the link within the Help error message in the IDL console. This link can be pasted into a browser to get to IDL Help. Alternatively, you can just launch IDL Help from Finder and search manually. The bug arises from the way IDL pushes the links to operating system which was broken by Apple.
