My guess is that it's present in the macro-expanded code.  It's not
quite autoloaded (the autoload cookie only means that it'll be
autoloaded if you've done (require 'cl) before).

Try to figure out which macro-call causes the above problem, we may want
to fix the macro so as to use make-symbol instead.
