I can confirm that

(global-set-key "\C-hl" 'undefined)
C-x C-k l

then signals an error.  But I'm getting

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Key sequence C-h l is not a keyboard macro")

in Emacs 28.

I've just taken a very quick look at the command, and I'm guessing it
has something to do with:

	    ((or (memq cmd '(view-lossage electric-view-lossage))
                 (memq cmd-noremap '(view-lossage electric-view-lossage)))
	     (setq mac (recent-keys))

mac ends up being

#<subr undefined>

which leads to bugging out.  Does anybody immediately see what this code
is supposed to do here, and can fix this?  If not, I'll poke at it some
more tomorrow; no more time today.
