This looks like a regression resulting from a misunderstanding.
What are you trying to do here?

The rest of the code uses only `cl-lib` functionality, so (require 'cl)
will be useful only if it internally does (require 'cl-lib).
In Emacs<24.3, this will fail because (require 'cl) will not define the
macros that the rest of the code needs (e.g. `cl-eval-when`, `cl-loop`, ...).
