Yes, moving the expanders to pre-loaded files would make the problem go
away, I think?  (And env.el is a good place for that one.)

But if we start doing that for some of those things, we should probably
do it for all of them, and I wasn't sure that that's what we wanted to
do.

It's certainly not very logical to load cl-lib to define a setter for,
say, `face-background', but that's where we're at today.

I think I'm in favour of moving all those out of cl-lib to preloaded
files.  I'm sure nobody else has an opinion here.
