What's the result of evaluating (symbol-function 'pel-generic-find-file)
in the situation where the describe command reports the wrong location?


I currently don't have a concrete idea.  Nothing fundamental changed in
the autoload mechanism I think.  Smaller changes happened over the time,
sure.

Are you even sure that the problem is new and not reproducible using
older Emacs versions?


When I visit the link to the source of your code, is it easy for me to
reproduce this issue?
