Thanks for mentioning that. I followed up in that bug report, here:
https://bugs.gnu.org/15539#109
By the way, making user-emacs-directory a variable instead of a constant has its
downsides, because if a user changes user-emacs-directory, then a lot of other
variables will keep their old values derived from the previous value of
user-emacs-directory, leading to a confusing mish-mosh of old and new behavior.
Changing user-emacs-directory works coherently only if it's done very early in
startup (which is all that Bug#15539 was asking for).
