I just tried again and it seems the annotations work only in Shell but not in Eshell. This is probably the reason why the issue was missed. In Eshell the functionality never worked as intended after it got installed. I didn't mean to exaggerate.
Yet ISTM that claiming that "the pcomplete help functionality never worked properly" is an exaggeration. The feature is 'pcomplete-from-help', which extracts completion candidates from --help outputs, and is works (or mostly works). A subfeature of that feature are the annotations, and these annotations do not work in one particular case, eshell.
