Re: broken (or missing) packages after 'error in process sentinel: async-handle-result: End of file during parsing'

This used to happen to me pretty often when I would update emacs, relaunch
it, and then immediately update packages. What I saw was that async native
compile would schedule/start a file, package.el would update that elpa
package with new code, and then async-jit-native-compile would try to
compile the since-replaced file.
It went away when I started giving the new emacs a little time to catch up
before running package-list-packages; I would sometimes manually work
around the problem with package-recompile-all.

I started a bug report and then stopped, because it was very closely tied
to the developer-centric behavior -- I didn't see it if I let the new emacs
"settle" for a few minutes of normal use.

Hope that helps,
~Chad
