Thanks for the report. I'm not sure there is anything Emacs can do about
this. That file is not part of Emacs, it is part of "flim". In general,
you can break Emacs in arbitrary ways by installing arbitrary packages
at the head of load-path.
This issue was supposedly fixed in Debian flim a decade ago:
