Thanks for the heads up.  Indeed, it got me stumped for a while until
I realized that defconst behaves funny during the dump (it purecopy's
its argument, so we get a snapshot of minibuffer-local-map, taken
before minibuffer-local-map has been populated).
I installed the patch below which seems to fix the problem,
