I don't think that
the ability to byte-compile code with circular lists is really
important enough to warrant this sort of inconvenience.
I don't think having a local variable to deactivate it is
inconvenient; after all, there's only a few elisp packages in Emacs
where the slowdown is significant.
OTOH, perhaps we could to the reverse: default print-circle to nil
during byte-compilation, and add a variable to activate it for the few
files that really need it.
But anyway, some sensible behavior should be used: either we do
compile correctly, or we detect circular lists (I mean, we detect uses
of backreferences, like #1=...) and refuse to byte-compile it. What is
not reasonable is byte-compiling it and generating wrong byte-code
that can not be loaded.
