Right...

Good catch.

Sort of...

The problem is that I used the EXCLUDED_emacs21 scheme to skip
byte-compilation, relying on the fact that the source elisp directory
was in the load-path. I recently removed it from the load-path and
substituted by the symlinks. But the `EXCLUDED_emacs21' is used for
files that are actually imcompatble with a flavour of Emacs. I'll add
something else to skip byte-compilation as well and will use it for
gnus-BTS.el
Thanks for all your help tracking this down!
