It is an ugly approach. However, that code has worked for years, and it has not been changed, so this must imply a compiler bug somewhere else. We should investigate that and fix it before deleting cc-bytecomp-defun. I was unable to make this fail by recompiling cc-bytecomp and cc-vars. I can't afford to do a bootstrap--too many meetings today. But if you byte-compile-debug to t, you should be able to get a backtrace. Very likely investigating that backtrace will make considerable progress.
