What value do you have EMACSLOADPATH defined to?  If it doesn't
include the standard Lisp directory where disp-table.elc lives, you
will indeed see the error message.

What happens is that setting EMACSLOADPATH overrides the built-in
value used by Emacs to look for Lisp files.  If you still want Emacs
to find its bundled Lisp files, you need to make sure that
EMACSLOADPATH includes the directories where those bundled files live.
