Why eval-and-compile?

Anyway, I think the issue can be summarized as:

cat /tmp/foo.el:

(eval-and-compile
  (byte-compile-file "/tmp/bar.el"))

cat /tmp/bar.el:

(message "hi")

emacs -Q -batch -f batch-byte-compile foo.el

  Wrote /tmp/bar.elc
  >>Error occurred processing foo.el: error (("Selecting deleted buffer"))

Recursive byte-compilation trips over itself trying to use
a single " *Compiler Input*" buffer.

(package-install byte-compiles what it installs.)
