How did you install 25 and 27.1? It might be that they are using some
configuration specific to your system that adds additional directories
to load elisp from, that the development version is missing. Does
anything change if you run
$ emacs --no-site-lisp
with an older version?
(Also, how did you install auto-complete? Via M-x package-install or
your system package manager?)
