I think you've just found a bug.  How did you disable jit-lock?

Can you try "emacs -Q --eval '(setq font-lock-support-mode nil)'" and
retry your test.

We could also do it lazily: wait for people to complain and fix those
that come up.

Yes, but sometimes having them as macros is better (e.g., the code
should be a bit faster than with a defsubst; also macros are expanded by
gv.el so defining them as macros lets you use them as places in `setf'
and `push' as well.  The new `define-inline' does address both of those
problems, OTOH).
