Indeed, I realize just after I hit "send" that there is already a known
bug in that area: if you share that directory between different Emacs
versions, you have to be careful to always install the packages with the
*older* Emacs version: a package installed with Emacs-NN will should
work fine on Emacs≥NN, but the reverse is not necessarily true.
