I'm trying to find the root cause of this messed up `load-history` but
can't reproduce this problem.  IIUC it was linked to Emacs not finding
the pdmp file, so I did

    rm src/emacs.pdmp
    emacs -Q

but that still works correctly for me.

Can anyone still reproduce such a problem with `master`?
