Maybe you should use several autocommands, depending of the variable type (global or local),
the events, the filetype and so on... In the case you describe, you want to have 'so' set to
0 when you read the help file (when the help buffer is the active one) and come back to so=2
when you leave the help, isn't it ?

In my vimrc, I use this:

set scrolloff=5
[...]
autocmd BufEnter,TabEnter,WinEnter * if &filetype=="help" || &buftype=="help" | set scrolloff=999 | else | set scrolloff=5 | endif

This works as expected. Cheers
