I think the placement of some ^L are interfering with the proper parsing of that section. The good news is that it is not happening in the master repository, only on my 25.4 Cygwin instance. I have added a snippet of code to delete any *-autoloads.elc files in the package tree before I initialize the package system and that avoids the problem.

I just tested this, using the same emacs version as you (the current
release of emacs-w32 on 64-bit Cygwin), and the autoloads files didn't
get byte-compiled. I tested by installing form-feed and lua-mode from
MELPA. I don't know what could be different on your system to cause
this problem. Can you reproduce it from 'emacs -Q'?
