First, the --init-directory=$DIR part is not relevant to the issue;
the same happens if you place such init files in your "normal" home
directory.
More to the point, that error in early-init.el does not trigger a
backtrace because 'end-of-file' error is in the list that is the value
of debug-ignored-errors. So this problem is specific to that
particular kind of error in early-init.el. If you trigger some other
error, which is not in the list of ignored ones, you will see a
backtrace.
IOW, this is the expected behavior.
I wonder whether the patch below could be the solution to this.
Stefan, WDYT? Should we perhaps condition this binding by more
conditions, like only do this in interactive invocations or something?
