I have deleted 'package-quickstart.el{,c}', all '*.elc' files in my
package directory, restarted Emacs, then regenerated
'package-quickstart.el', and the same issue occurs.

BTW, initially I assumed this was an issue with my configuration
somehow, but it now seems that two more people have encountered this
issue (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2022-05/msg00702.html).

Thanks for looking into this.
