Whatever might be figured out, IMO it needs to be possible for a user to control when `custom-file' (it's value) gets loaded. IOW, maybe some intelligent default handling can be contrived. But a user who needs to load `custom-file' at one (or more!) specific points in her init file should always be able to do so.
