That seems to be it. So, per se, it's not a bug.

Though, we could imagine a better behavior of `elp-instrument-package' when
instrumenting a non-yet required package; for example:

- be warned that it's not possible at that stage, or

- remember to instrument the package as soon it's required (somehow like an
  `eval-after-load'), or

- requiring it when instrumenting it.

Thanks for your answer!

Best regards,
Fabrice
