bug#60346: VC refresh error "Recursive load"

[Joseph Turner]

Hello,

I wanted to ignore byte-compiled files because edebug was refusing to
step into byte-compiled functions.

I ran the following:

emacs -Q --eval="(setq load-suffixes '(\".el\"))"

This broke basic functionality, throwing a "Recursive load" error. For
example, `M-x find-file ~/.emacs.d/init.el` gives:

VC refresh error: (error "Recursive load"

Emacs also breaks when load-suffixes are reordered:

emacs -Q --eval="(setq load-suffixes '(\".el\" \".so\" \".elc\"))"

I am running Guix on a foreign distro Debian Bullseye. Shall I send this
issue to the Guix mailing list instead?

Thank you!
