I don't see why these are necessarily spurious. Please give very
concrete examples, so as to make it crystal clear why they're spurious.

Unexpected to you, obviously, but I'm not convinced it's unexpected in
general (after all, I don't remember other bug-reports in this area) and
definitely not incorrect. See the docstring of `load':
Execute a file of Lisp code named FILE.
First try FILE with `.elc' appended, then try with `.el',
then try FILE unmodified (the exact suffixes in the exact order are
determined by `load-suffixes'). Environment variable references in
[...]
Of course, there's an ambiguity about how the search is performed,
w.r.t. to whether it does:
(dolist (s suffixes) (dolist (d load-path) ...)))
or
(dolist (d load-path) (dolist (s suffixes) ...)))
We do the second, so that a compiled file in a later directory does not
override a non-compiled file in an earlier directory.
