But it moves one step closer, AFAICT: the real file name of the Emacs
executable is now correctly identified.

Thanks, but this doesn't provide enough information to understand how
this Emacs was configured and installed, and AFAICS you didn't supply
that information up-thread. So:
. how was Emacs configured? with what value of --prefix (or other
related directory variables, like libdir etc)?
. was Emacs installed, and if so, with what command?
. what is the full absolute file name of the native-lisp/ directory
that this Emacs binary was supposed to find and load?
. what is the full absolute file name of the pdumper file for this
Emacs binary?
P.S. To avoid confusion, please use the Subject line I used, not the
one which mentions bug#48700.
