I cleaned it, and everything works as expected! I never knew that this directory is something even a new emacs build with `-Q` can use. Something new to learn! But on the other hand, is this an expected behavior? Even though my problem is solved, I'd like to learn for what reason this happens. Thank you again, consider this bug report as solved.
