Yes I do, but it's clear now that I was mistaken about why.  On closer
inspection, it has to do with emacs not recognizing 'simple because it
wants to see "simple" instead (string instead of symbol).

;;As symbol
(let*
   ((x 1))
   (eval-after-load 'simple '(setq x 2))
   x)

=> 1


;;As string
(let*
   ((x 1))
   (eval-after-load "simple" '(setq x 2))
   x)

=> 2


Not sure why it's different for you.  I suspect it may have to do with a
difference between the emacs version I use and later versions.

Yes, I see that now.
