It appears you are right. I kept seeing "byte-code: Wrong type argument: stringp, stringp" which made me nervous. At least sometimes I thought I had non-deleted packages hanging around, but that may have been due to debug-on-error. I tend to turn it on and forget to turn it off.
Thanks, and sorry for the noise.
