No. I'm saying that these users should add a one-liner to their init
file.

I don't understand this part. What do you mean by "happen early
enough"?

Is there something in emacs-buttercup that makes it necessary for
reproducing this? Or would any byte-compiled file do?
Anyway, what happens if you try this with Emacs 29? Emacs 28 is in
the past for us: there will be no more releases from the emacs-28
branch. And on Emacs 29 we made some changes which I think should
prevent these problems.
