Phil,
Y'day I was working on a similar problem, and had to examine the .js code in
depth. Later I learnt that Help Center creates random XML filenames in
%Temp% and extracts the .JS content (within the CHM/HLP files) to the TIF
folder. So, it's all TIF / Temp related, though there are exceptions.
Other possibilities for the XOX problem:

This is a different problem, but clearing the TIF helped
