There was a similar bug report (#11837), which was closed after finding a
font-latex bug.  I don't know how to proceed with this bug.  I sent the
backtrace you requested.

One thing I wonder about, which might be pertinent here:

Function `icicle-cmd2-after-load-bookmark+' is invoked after Bookmark+ is
loaded:

(eval-after-load "bookmark+" '(icicle-cmd2-after-load-bookmark+))

That function does this:

(icicle-define-file-command 'icicle-bookmark-a-file...)

And `icicle-define-file-command' is a macro that is not available at runtime.
It was available at byte-compile time, so I was thinking that it would be
expanded in the body of `icicle-cmd2-after-load-bookmark+', and things would be
OK.

(And things did work OK before the Emacs 24 build of this bug report, since the
byte-compiler ignored some errors that apparently did not cause a problem for
this code.)

It is `icicle-cmd2-after-load-bookmark+' that tries to byte-compile
`icicle-bookmark-a-file' after defining it.

Does this info help?  I want to avoid loading the file of macros at runtime.
And I want to avoid defining `icicle-bookmark-a-file' and other bookmark
commands unless Bookmark+ is loaded.

Please advise.  Thx.
