Error "load: Symbol’s value as variable is void: \213" since 261d6afd6e6f3ba2bbf4db0d9ac57b0cbacc0137

Hi ever since 261d6afd6e6f3ba2bbf4db0d9ac57b0cbacc0137 I'm getting an
error starting emacs,
to be sure there isn't anything strange going on, this happens with a
clean build, ELN removed (with/without native compilation), and with a
freshly installed package directory.

--- error output ---
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable ‹)
  eval-buffer(#<buffer  *load*-527550> nil
"/opt/emacs/share/emacs/29.0.50/lisp/calc/calc-loaddefs.el.gz" nil t)
; Reading at buffer position 3
  
load-with-code-conversion("/opt/emacs/share/emacs/29.0.50/lisp/calc/calc-load..."
"/opt/emacs/share/emacs/29.0.50/lisp/calc/calc-loaddefs.el.gz" nil t)
  load("calc-loaddefs.el" nil t)
  require(calc)
--- snip ---

This error happens to be triggered by evil-mode but if I disable evil
mode it gets triggered by lsp-mode, so it doesn't seem specific to a
single package,
although `emacs -Q` works without problems.

I bisected the error to:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=261d6afd6e6f3ba2bbf4db0d9ac57b0cbacc0137

Is this a known problem or is it worth a fill bug report?
