No, what happened is that the autoloads files got out of date and needed
to be regenerated by 'make -C lisp autoloads', as I said in my first
reply. This happens from time to time and is documented in
INSTALL.REPO. It works perfectly well in an out-of-source build. If
you delete your build directory, however, then you've thrown away your
Makefile, and it's too late.
The only reason you aren't bitten by this more often is that Glenn
periodically updates the autoloads. See, for example, his commit 3cade20.
