The text you quote is not a warning, it's an error. --debug-init
should have taken care of debugging it, AFAIU.
And let me reiterate what I said previously (and you quoted here):
>>> More generally, I'm worried by the tendency of people to submit

>>> in Emacs that they need for some one-time job. Emacs is not supposed

>>> useful for some random job. Emacs is Free Software: you can easily

>>> want; no need to add that to the Emacs core, unless there's a real
>>> need for it expressed by enough people, and no better solutions in

I still don't think I see why this particular issue should be
everyone's problem, not just something you solve locally, if you
indeed bump frequently into these issues.
