When I invoke `runemacs.exe -q`, the problem still occurs.
So, perhaps the problem is in my site-lisp directory.

From a `runemacs.exe --no-site-lisp is see:
emacs-version is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
`version.el'.
So I checked my site-lisp directory and I had:
simple.el
simple.elc
subdirs.el
So to test, I copied the current lisp\simple.el* to site-lisp and I
now see:
emacs-version is an interactive compiled Lisp function.
(No 'version.el')
OK, seeing that message from `C-h f' is no problem.
However, when I subsequently startup Gnus, I see the problem with not
geting `emacs-version' to work.
Of course, the solution is to delete the simple.el* files from the
site-lisp directory.
But should having the existance of the current-up-to-date simple.el*
files in the site-lisp directory cause this problem?
You can close this bugreport if it is deemed not interesting to look
into why this happens (with subsequently starting Gnus?) since I can
just remove the simple.el* files from site-lisp.
Thanks.
