   If there were to be any problem with the fix you've made,

The only drawback I see from loading "jka-cmpr-hook" this early is
that it will not be possible to load multilingual text from that file.
This is not a problem now and very unlikely to ever be.  You can not
load multilingual text from several other files that are loaded even
earlier either: subr, widget, custom, files, simple and others.

   another fix would be to amend load-history-regexp so that
   jka-compr-load-suffixes is only used inside an (unless purify-flag
   ....) form

Is the correct value of jka-compr-load-suffixes ever needed at the
early stage where it caused trouble?  Autoloading
jka-compr-load-suffixes might also be a solution, if allowing for
future multilingual text in "jka-cmpr-hook" would be a real issue.
