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 Emacsā‰„NN, but the reverse is not necessarily true.
