What's to discuss? AFAICS your patch fixes a bug. Autoloads are
supposed to be transparent to callers. If something that autoloads
would be keymapp after loading, it should be keymapp even though it
hasn't been loaded yet.
Good!
An alternative would be what #'functionp does, which is return t for
autoload objects without loading them. But, it’s currently documented as
autoloading and that’s what the other code assumes.
If you think there may be applications that want to know if
something
is an autoload, we could defun #'autoloadp.
