Subject: bug#12299: 24.1; no byte compiler warning for inline function call with too few arguments

cat > foo.el << EOF

Byte-compile the above file. The Emacs 24.1 byte compiler does not
complain that the inline function foo is called with too few arguments.
Emacs 23.1 complains

  foo.el:2:1:Warning: attempt to open-code `anonymous lambda' with
    too few arguments

till it aborts with

  foo.el:2:1:Error: Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size

which I do not find very appropriate either.
