I don't claim this is a bug - you decide.
 
emacs -Q
 
C-h f psetq    ;; Not recognized
 
M-x load-library cl RET
 
C-h f psetq    ;; says it is autoloaded
 
This is likely true of other such macros as well.

It is not.

This is not what the cl autoloads are for (nor should any autoload be
used for this purpose IMO).
