I see that lisp/finder-inf.el defines 'dictionary' as a built-in package
in my Emacs installation. This file is loaded when doing C-h P. It
directly sets `package--builtins'.

Maybe that file's contents differ for you and Eli?

Yep, good spot!

On both my regular linux laptop (with frequently rebuilt head) and on
a borrowed win11 install of emacs 30, I see lines in finder-inf.el for
both dictionary and dictionary-connection. Tracing through the
function finder-compile-keywords in finder.el, I suspect that *maybe*
this is an artifact of Eli running directly out of the build tree?
