bug#62136: 30.0.50; byte-compiled init.el loads correctly, but native compiled init.eln loads incompletely

["Mark A. Hershberger" via "Bug reports for GNU Emacs, the Swiss army knife of text editors" <bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org>]

Thanks for the reply, Eli.

It is late, so I will try to find more information tomorrow, but right
now I can give you a *Messages* buffer from a complete load (when there
is an init.elc file, but no init.eln file) and a *Messages* buffer from
an improper load (when there is an init.eln file).

To quickly pin-point the missing lines from the improper load, this is
the first set of missing lines:

There is another section missing as well:

I'll try to track down the code in my init.el that corresponds with
these lines tomorrow.
