Taking the heavy-handed step of removing this file "solves" my problem in that I can load the file.

This is the file, btw:


;;; loaded before user's ".emacs" file and default.el

;; load *.el and *.elc in /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.d on startup
(mapc
 'load
 (delete-dups
  (mapcar 'file-name-sans-extension
          (directory-files
           "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.d" t "\\.elc?\\'"))))
(setq source-directory "/usr/share/emacs/29.1/")



The above file is, however also there in 28.3 (with the appropriate version).
