Its not just dialog help icon which does not work, but the help icon on the right side and inline error messages as well.
The root problem is in the blue and red triangles above the inline message which are in code generated via SVG. IE10 & IE11 would support SVG but it seems that vaadin/GWT is trying the <IE9 fallback with VML which is not supported any more in IE10 & IE11.
The quick solution is to override the bindings of the GWT-Graphics library but a more elegant and robust solution is to get rid of the library and use an image and work with css classes.
