Thanks, I'll give it a try.
It is definitely a requirement for XEmacs.

I have never managed to get deep into this, but that seems to happen when some
function has been byte-compiled on the fly, and this function is called
from byte-code itself. So the called bytecode is not available at the
time the caller is byte compiled. Especially, I don't know if it is by XEmacs
design.
