Can you try and reproduce this while `macroexp--debug-eager` is set to
a non-nil value so we hopefully get a backtrace?

The error means we're trying to do something like
`cl-defmethod` on `(setf seq-elt)` after having defined `(setf
seq-elt)` as something like a normal function, but I can't see where
we'd define it as something else.  Neither do I understand why
`cl--block-wrapper` would go through that unless it ends up loading
`seq.el` somehow.
