As far as I understood that thread, it was el-get in addition to
dired+.  This bug report doesn't mention el-get though.  And so far I
haven't been able to reproduce problem anyway.

Tim, could you post what M-: (tabulated-list-get-id) RET gives when this
problem happens?  (That seems to be important part of
package-menu-describe-package, which is what '?' calls.)
