I think it highly likely that all your problems are due to your having
local copies of standard Emacs libraries in .emacs.d/lisp, which are
preventing the normal ones from being seen. You can use M-x
list-load-path-shadows to check. (Had you used the standard M-x
report-emacs-bug command in your initial report, that information would
have been included.) You should remove those local copies.

Accordingly I'm closing this report because I don't think there is an
Emacs bug here, but feel free to keep discussing it if you need to.
