On recent master, but this seems to have been broken for a while:

$ emacs -Q -eval '(define-key global-map (kbd "<f11>") (lambda () (interactive) (bury-buffer)))'

C-h v <f11>

throws an error:

function-get: Wrong type argument: symbolp, #[nil ((bury-buffer)) (t) nil nil nil]

Acktually the *Help* buffer is formatted with sufficient information,
but the error prevents it from being displayed.

Thanks.

Stefan, this is due to your change:

  commit a4ec9ca12969018cdf15b8cc713b3ba054326f99
  Author:     Stefan Kangas <stefankangas@HIDDEN>
  AuthorDate: Tue Apr 1 21:25:33 2025 +0200
  Commit:     Stefan Kangas <stefankangas@HIDDEN>
  CommitDate: Tue Apr 1 21:25:33 2025 +0200

      function-put: signal error with non-symbol

      * lisp/subr.el (function-get): Signal an error if given a non-symbol
      for consistency with 'get'.
      * test/lisp/subr-tests.el (subr-butlast): Test for the above.

Any reasons not to revert that?  function-get correctly returns nil if
its argument is not a symbol, so why should this signal an error?
