I'm glad you seem to have solved the problem.
But I don't understand how you got help-fns+.el[c] loaded if you started Emacs using `emacs -q', which doesn't load your init file.
The original problem really needs to have been narrowed down to only the library (or libraries) really necessary to repro the problem.
To be clear, what happens if you ensure that you load _only_ el-get.el, and not help-fns+.el or dired+.el or anything else? E.g., use just `M-x load-file' for elget.el (or elget.elc).

That'll probably keep you healthy. Good shoveling.
