I've debugged a bit further and the issue is that
(package-installed-p 'emacs '(27 1))
still returns t (as it should) in c116dad608a but returns nil starting
with 5dd8b7e7525. Well, and the reason for that is that
package-builtins on master contains
(emacs . [(1 0) nil "the extensible text editor"])
instead of
(emacs . [(31 0 50) nil "the extensible text editor"])
Bye,
Tassilo
