That specific problem should be impossible now, owing to cl-lib.el's:

(or (load "cl-loaddefs" 'noerror 'quiet)
    ;; When bootstrapping, cl-loaddefs hasn't been built yet!
    (require 'cl-macs))

I guess you had a stale cl-lib.elc around?
So AFAICS, that's just a one-time problem, the usual sort of issue with
stale elc files that we know non-bootstrap builds sometimes have.
