It appears to be a chicken and egg problem. Maybe it can be solved by a change to loaddefs-boot.el? The code is in vc-cvs.el, and is a call to parse-time-string which is now autoloaded. The problem encountered is that when Emacs tries to save loaddefs.el after generating it, it loads vc-cvs.el and tries to run the code in question. But since loaddefs.el has not been written yet, the autoload does not work, and parse-time-string is left undefined.
