Don't bother, I found the culprit. It is this fragment from Fload:
if (!load_prefer_newer && is_elc)
{
result = stat (SSDATA (efound), &s1);
int err = errno;
if (result == 0)
{
SSET (efound, SBYTES (efound) - 1, 0);
result = stat (SSDATA (efound), &s2);
err = errno;
SSET (efound, SBYTES (efound) - 1, 'c');
if (result != 0) <<<<<<<<<<<
found = Fsubstring (found, make_fixnum (0), <<<<<<<<<<<
make_fixnum (-1)); <<<<<<<<<<<
}
The last 3 lines were added as part of the "improved reporting of I/O
errors" changeset. What it does is replace the .elc file name with
the .el filename if 'stat' fails when called on the .el file. And in
installed Emacs we compress *.el files, so they are not there.
Paul, why was this snippet added? It makes no sense to me: why should
we replace an existing .elc file name with a non-existing .el file
name?
