> package-unpack: Wrong type argument: package-desc, nil

I've had this issue as well since rebuilding Emacs yesterday from the
master branch.  AFAICT the issue is that `package-load-descriptor`
returns `nil` instead of a valid package descriptor when called in
`package-unpack`.

Curiously, when I evaluate the definition of `package-load-descriptor`
(with C-M-x) it starts behaving correctly and the issue goes away.
Perhaps this is a native compilation problem?
