Ironically, it was the latest version of Gnus that seemed to be causing
the problem!  When I commented out:

(setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/src/gnus/lisp") load-path))
(require 'gnus-load)

the warning about package assoc being obsolete disappeared, and eww now
works fine!  

The code in that directory was cloned from git a couple of weeks ago. I
can't tell what version it is, because the ChangeLog does not seem to be
current.

Is there anything else I can do to help track down this behaviour?

Cheers,
