Nope, that is deliberate.  Use ^U to delete the text, if that is what you
want: Esc was never documented to do so.  The problem here is that some
other process (for example a GUI widget) might have written something to
the screen, and you don't want that deleted.

Moral: don't rely on undocumented side effects.
The critical thing here is that you are using winhelp, and that is
`rough'.  It works with all the four other help systems.  Can we persuade
you to move into the 21st century and used winhelp's replacement, CHTML?
