I have some questions for you as an Emacs expert: Is byte-compilation known to be sometimes broken? Is there a recommended approach to problems caused by byte-compilation ? We recently did an update to vm in Debian stable, to work around a critical problem with Emacs 28 (#1039105). The autopkgtest which is now failing is new - I introduced it to detect future bugs, which it seems to have done. The previous bug was related to byte-compilation and we "fixed" it by turning off byte-compilation for at least some of vm's files (in what I feel was rather an ad-hoc way, albeit an effective one). Or to put it another way, is it possible that this is a bug in emacs 29.1 and if so what is the best workaround ?
