I think these are separate issues.

Bug#73949 is a specific compilation error in magit.

Bug#73950 is not specific to magit. My complaint is that the package compilation log (regardless of the package) lacks file location prefixes if you install non-interactively via the user init file. For example, try replacing magit with ef-themes in the recipe, and you will see a bunch of warnings without any file locations.

Cheers.
