describe-function: Wrong number of arguments

[Tim Johnson]

Build info is:
GNU Emacs 29.1 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.20,
 cairo version 1.16.0) of 2023-09-22
on ubuntu 20.04

If I compile and load an elisp file with 
emacs-lisp-byte-compile-and-load and
then run describe-function for a defun (invoked by in c-h f) I get the 
following
error message for all functions in that file:

*describe-function-1: Wrong number of arguments: #<subr 
help-fns--autoloaded-p>, 2

*Describe-function works fine for that elisp file when I restart emacs.

I am seeing a similar issue at the following site: 
https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs/issues/6097
Should I be going to a different version of emacs?
This instance of emacs is from snap. Was originally included with my 
ubuntu install
and I have just updated when prompted.

Any and all ideas are welcome
