As I've said before, I have no special access to hydra.
The output of failed builds is not kept, so we don't have that file.
I have seen similar issues twice in my own daily builds (in mid-Dec), so
the issue is not specific to hydra.

Maybe yours was a different issue (I'm surprised undo has any relevance
to autoload generation).

It's a Heisenbug. If it happens again on hydra you'll get no more
information than you have now.
Suggestions:
make autoloads many times (using bootstrap-emacs may be relevant) in a
loop till it happens again
insert anticipatory debug code into autoload.el
