FWIW, cl-lib is a library that can be loaded at runtime just fine.
Moreover, it's likely that cl-lib will end up pre-loaded from loadup.el
at some point in the (somewhat distant) future.

So I don't think we should worry too much about the above result.

But don't take that to mean I don't like your patch.
