Itʼs not the use case thatʼs special, itʼs the package I was installing:
The autoloads file shipped with vlf-20191126.2250 didnʼt have a line
starting with ';;;' after the final entry in the file, which is what
the code was looking for.
Looking at the history, the autoloads generation was rewritten for
emacs-29, so this looks like a minor regression.
