I don't see how that sexp would cause a problem. If package.el(c) is already loaded then that does nothing. And if it can't be loaded it also does nothing (no error). Maybe the cause is nearby? Anyway, consider reporting what you've found as a bug: `M-x report-emacs-bug), providing a more or less minimal step-by-step recipe to repro it, starting from `emacs -Q'. Thx.
