That's because (defvar :foo ':foo) is written as (defvar :foo :foo) in
the elc file, which defvar doesn't allow.  byte-compile-file-form-defvar
no longer calls byte-compile-form via byte-compile-keep-pending which
would handle it correctly (and emit a warning).  When adding a doc
string the bug also happens in emacs < 24.

Andreas.
