Sorry for the late reply, but I could find some time just now. I tried
to reproduce this on a fresh emacs (from the current master - 26+).

This is the resulting minimal ~/.emacs.d/init.el:

  (package-initialize)
  (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/lisp")
  (require 'modeline-posn)

ran with:

  emacs --no-site-file --no-site-lisp --no-splash --no-x-resources

with ~/.emacs.d/lisp containing modeline-posn.el from melpa. There's no
other file. I indeed had to add (package-initialize) to reproduce the
issue, but I'm not sure why it has some influence. Maybe just some
delay.

Right off the bat, could you reproduce it with this?

Evaling after-init-time makes no difference, and I also couldn't
reproduce it with my own directions I gave beforehand.
