That cannot happen with natively-compiled code: Emacs will never use
natively-compiled *.eln files that don't fit the currently running
Emacs binary.  It will recompile the corresponding *.el files anew and
put into a separate subdirectory of the eln-cache, which fits the
current binary.

Stale bytecode could explain that, if it uses macros that were
meanwhile updated, yes.
