I can reproduce this when trying to install `slime' from NonGNU ELPA.

The problem here is that the `slime' package already comes with a file
"slime-autoloads.el", which means that the attempt to auto-generate a
new one fails:

    https://github.com/slime/slime/blob/master/slime-autoloads.el

Here's the backtrace:

I've now fixed this in Emacs 29.

(But perhaps the slime package should also be fixed to not include a
"hand-made" loaddefs file...)
