As Noam suggested, I was getting caught by
help-enable-completion-auto-load being t by default.  I tried to check
whether elec-pair.el had been loaded with C-h f electric-pair- <tab>,
which, of course loaded the file before giving me the complete list of
functions.

So, just pilot error on my part.
