Recipe :

Run:
emacs -Q -f package-initialize --eval '(insert "[cl-struct-package-desc]")' -f backward-char

then hit SPC and wait a tiny bit (well under a second).

Result: an error.

Here's the lisp backtrace:

Related to this, running :

emacs -Q -f package-initialize --eval '(describe-function (quote cl-struct-package-desc))'

results in a second window showing :
cl-struct-package-desc is an alias for `:quick-object-witness-check',
which is not defined.  Please make a bug report.
