Unfortunately, I am not competent enough to understand exactly what 
steps are required to perform this. I certainly am not able to build 
emacs from source. But I thought to do the following:

1. Download package.el file from here: 
https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/610105ee81bbf79f72d4efb46d0caddf8d654cf1/lisp/emacs-lisp/package.el

2. Start 'emacs -Q --init-directory <DIR>', where <DIR> is directory
with only zero-sized 'init.el' file

3. Open that downloaded package.el file in emacs buffer and do M-x 
eval-buffer

4. Do the steps from 2 to 8 in my original bug-report.

I got the same buggy result on step 8: C-h v package-selected-packages 
RET: Its value is (chess)

I'm not familiar with emacs internals, so can't say where the problem 
now: the bug is still here, or my testing strategy is wrong.

P.S. (Offtopic): I'm also novice at maillists, so confused what should I 
do now in my email client: Reply, Reply to All or Reply to List. Sorry 
please if I did it wrong.
