Why `ignore-errors'? The Emacs-25 behavior of (indirect-function thing)
is the same as the old (indirect-function thing t), AFAIK (hence the
removal of the now redundant argument).

My mistake.

Something like that should be in NEWS.

I hesitated: the change is actually a missing change in 24.4 (where
`symbol-function' was changed to not signal void-function any more, but
where I did not make the corresponding change in `indirect-function').
So to me it's just a bug fix.

The rest of us need these clues, to help us figure out what you did. :)
It has practical consequences, so it should be in NEWS. Eg this will
prompt Someone to update the elisp manual, which still describes the old
behaviour.
IMO: if in doubt, make a NEWS entry. It can always be deleted before the
release, when Someone reviews the NEWS file.
(TIA, Someone!)
