This does indeed look strange. What version of Emacs is this? Do you
perhaps have some old package lying around in "~/.emacs.d/elpa"? Or in
any of the directories in the `package-directory-list' variable?
You could try invoking "emacs --debug-init" to see if the backtrace
tells you something interesting.
