This has subsequently been fixed:

    * lisp/emacs-lisp/package.el (package-load-list): Improve :type.

I'm therefore closing this bug report.

The defcustom type is (repeat symbol), but the doc string says that it
should be a repetition of entries like this:

1. The symbol `all' (only).
2. List (NAME VERSION), where NAME is a symbol and VERSION is one of
   these: t, a string, or nil.

So it is currently effectively impossible to customize this option.
