I don't know: I did not write the code that computes this directory,
because it was already written for the purpose of making absolute the
filenames of preloaded files in `load-history`.

Maybe/probably, but since EMACSLOADPATH is a list of directories I'm not
sure how to make it reliable.  Maybe it should look for some
"well-known" bundled ELisp file in EMACSLOADPATH an derive the value of
`lisp-directory` from it?
