I tested it as merged in experimental today and choosing "About Tails"
in the System menu causes a "Starting About Tails" to appears for some 5
seconds in the bottom panel, and then it disappears, and nothing else.

Trying to run tails-about from the command line returns the following trace:

amnesia@amnesia:~$ tails-about
Traceback (most recent call last):
