That's unfortunate, as this is completely untested and unsupported.
I expect you'll bump into further problems.  Maybe a "simpler" solution
is to setup a simulation environment where you could perform the dump.

Not sure if that's the right fix, but indeed there's a bug there that
shows up when using NO_DUMP.  Make sure you record it via M-x
report-emacs-bug.

That one doesn't remind me of anything.

I don't.

No.

Not that I know.

That's the question, yes.  But no, I have no idea how this can happen.
