The number of ways to coax varying behavior from the two execution modes is
legion. I had to bend over backwards to achieve consistency for use-package
when byte-compiling an init.el file versus loading it un-byte-compiled. So I
don't feel this bug is very urgent.

Honestly, we have better things to do. If you still think this is a bug, I'm
fine leaving it open until the day when someone wants to champion the cause of
interpreted/compiled equivalence, but until then, I'd rather focus on other
things.
