Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried:
start emacs
(wait 10 minutes)
M-x list-packages
U
x

and I still got the failure:

So just waiting after startup does not work around this for me.

I also tried package-recompile-all, but that doesn't seem to work at
all, I found the following in the message buffer:

Yes, repeated this many times for one call of the recompile.

Does the async package, or my installation of it, have problems?
