I think a more exact recipe to reproduce the problem is needed.

  emacs -Q

then load and eval the file I sent. Do

  M-x mytemp-enable-handler
  C-x C-f Tab

gives me (on w32)

  Making completion list...
  apply: End of file during parsing:
    c:/emacs/u/080716/emacs/lisp/view.elc

The same type of problem showsd up for all elisp libraries that Emacs 
tries to load. It seems like Emacs tries to eval the files (as if they 
had extension .el).
