From byte-compiling I get

  ert2.el:133:21:Warning: Function `gensym' from cl package called at runtime

In cl.el I see that the function is autoloaded. Is it supposed to be
used? When? How?

I think in general, most packages just don't use gensym.  You can use
make-symbol or #:foo instead.

My guess is that it's present in the macro-expanded code.  It's not
quite autoloaded (the autoload cookie only means that it'll be
autoloaded if you've done (require 'cl) before).

Try to figure out which macro-call causes the above problem, we may want
to fix the macro so as to use make-symbol instead.
