No, I didn't yet look deeper into this.  I suspect that it has something
to do with one or more of Lars' commits regarding loaddefs.el.  But
that's a wild guess, I don't yet understand what Lars did.

If it works on GNU/Linux that hints at something specific to the macOS
installation procedure, which copies all sorts of files to form an "app
bundle", basically a directory containing everything belonging to an
application.  The easiest explanation would be if the copy misses a file
that isn't copied, or it copies too much.

I'll continue to investigate this tomorrow.

Thanks.
