It is strange that VC should try to run vc-cvs-parse-entry when loaddefs.el is saved, as you say. That should only happen if loaddefs.el was under CVS control, which it isn't. Wasn't it taken out of CVS just recently? Could it be that some people still have it in their CVS/Entries? Does it really happen as you say? Can you provide a stack trace?
