Mmhh, I think is because of this from loadup.el:

====
(load "emacs-lisp/macroexp")
(if (byte-code-function-p (symbol-function 'macroexpand-all))
    nil
  ;; Since loaddefs is not yet loaded, macroexp's uses of pcase will simply
  ;; fail until pcase is explicitly loaded.  This also means that we have to
  ;; disable eager macro-expansion while loading pcase.
  (let ((macroexp--pending-eager-loads '(skip))) (load "emacs-lisp/pcase"))
  ;; Re-load macroexp so as to eagerly macro-expand its uses of pcase.
  (let ((max-lisp-eval-depth (* 2 max-lisp-eval-depth)))
    (load "emacs-lisp/macroexp")))
====

I fear I don't have an answer as ATM I don't uderstand why it should be
different compared to master.
