Ah, now I remember. I guess we should look at diverting messages from
stderr to the *Warnings* buffer earlier.
Doing a *-mode-install in autoloads is generally deprecated practice.
Is it necessary/OK here?
That function originally added the auto-mode-alist entries, and was
subsequently extended to remove the format-alist entries. IOW, it
performs tasks which need to be done at startup.
In the end, I just inlined the function's body, so the actual code
goes into auto-autoloads.el rather than a call to an autoloaded
function. That seems to have solved the problem.
