Let me know what I could miss here.
Using SplineHelp() on a Primitive splineobject
(like Text) only segment 0 is possible.
Calling segment > 0 gets out of range.

Also, still calling segment 0, going to position 1.0 (100%) the position
jumps to next segments first position

Regular splines (Pointobjects with several segments) work as expected.

  
def main() :   
    segment = 0 # <- If spline is a Prim only segment 0 works   
    posUD = op[c4d.ID_USERDATA,1] # Userdata entry   
    spline = op[c4d.ID_USERDATA,2] # Userdata linkfield   
    if spline is None or spline.GetRealSpline() is None:   
        #print 'No Spline'   
        return False   
    shspline = SplineHelp()   
    rs       = spline.GetRealSpline()   
    # try using rs in SplineHelp.InitSpline and "use_deformed_points" fail   
    # but segments >0 works   
    shspline.InitSpline(spline,c4d.Vector(0.0),None, False,True, False,True)   
    pos      = shspline.GetPos(posUD , segment , True)   
    shspline.FreeSpline()   
    obj = op.GetObject()   
    objm = obj.GetMg()   
    objm.off = pos   
    obj.SetMg(objm)

I can confirm that. The segment exception shouldnt be raised.

Thanks Sebastian for checking and on a week end no less!

Please let us know when / if it is fixed (If possible).

May I ask, regarding SplineHelp() vs SplineLengthData()..
Why do we "need" both? They are a bit "same same but different".

Is one of them to prefere when using splines?
