I really don't see how that can happen if the user assistance requirements 
are captured and tracked like all the other requirements; i.e., as User 
Stories. 

And the other great benefit of  User Stories, properly written, are that 
collectively they give you the topic headings for your user assistance 
material. No need to translate obtuse functional specs into user-focused 
topics, because User Stories ARE user-focused topics.

But maybe what you refer to as  "Agile-like" development is to Agile 
development as near-beer is to beer.
