The cause is that you used Lisp programs having been byte-compiled
with Emacs 22.1 or earlier, that use at least one of the following
five Tramp functions:

tramp-file-name-multi-method
tramp-file-name-method
tramp-file-name-user
tramp-file-name-host
tramp-file-name-localname

In Emacs 22.1 or earlier, those functions are provided using cl's
`defstruct' macro and have the `cl-compiler-macro' property which
uses the `cl-struct-tramp-file-name-tags' variable (which is
defined in tramp.elc in Emacs 22.1 or earlier).  But now Tramp
does not use such a cl resource.

What you did is the best if such Lisp programs are the parts of
Emacs.  Otherwise, re-compiling your Lisp programs by the most
recent Emacs solves the problem.

(I was actually troubled with my Lisp program that uses those
Tramp functions. ;-)
