The error looks like Emacs is trying to byte-compile byte-compiled code.  So I
wonder: is a defun inside an eval-after-load byte-compiled when the file is
byte-compiled?

I was under the impression that it was not, hence the micmac.  If it is, then
presumably I can get rid of the option and explicit byte-compilation.  But if
this is the case, is it the case in older Emacs versions also?
