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:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-function nil)
  documentation(cl-struct-package-desc t)
  elisp--get-fnsym-args-string(cl-struct-package-desc 1)
  apply(elisp--get-fnsym-args-string (cl-struct-package-desc 1))

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.

Duh!  I fixed this bug locally months ago, but somehow failed to notice
it also affects master.  Should be fixed now, thanks,
