[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

You are right, I had my ~/.emacs.d in the load-path. I removed it as my
first step to resolve this issue, but then I thought that even if it were
in the load-path, returning the path to a file without a valid library
extension is an unexpected behavior for locate-library.
