According to the docstring of define-key, a cons of (MAP . CHAR) is a valid
key definition that will act as CHAR in MAP. This worked in previous
versions of Emacs but now causes an error when the keybinding is executed:
"Wrong type argument: commandp..."

This is apparently a regression, introduced in Emacs 24.
The problem does not exist in Emacs 20 through Emacs 23.

I can reproduce this using:
0. (define-key global-map (kbd "C-c ,") (cons help-map ?r))
1. C-c ,

So was the behaviour changed willingly? That is, is this a bug in the
documentation or in the code?

Not sure whom you're asking (maybe anyone who knows?),
but IMO it's an (unannounced?) incompatible step
backward. Stefan seems to have agreed that it's just
a code bug, in the cited emacs.SE comments.

Yes, anyone who knows. Thanks for replying.

OK, unless anyone says something else, let's treat that as
authoritative.
