As it happens, the change to the definition of locate-user-emacs-file being used here, was checked in on the same day as your build date: https://cgit.git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=87db670d045b So unfortunately if Emacs 31 is installed, we require a more recent version of it. Also Cc'ing the author of that change, on the odd chance that he might have a better suggestion.
