Description:

An update to 27.1-2 has broken (for me at least) byte code compilation of some packages in weird ways. I've struggled to debug exactly what it is but I'm happy to try suggestions. I've compiled myself emacs 27.1 from upstream and run the binary and it works just fine.

Specifically, loading certain packages or using certain features provokes the following (cryptic) error, example taken from magit:

Turning on magit-auto-revert-mode...done
byte-code: Wrong type argument: sequencep, all


Steps to reproduce:

/usr/bin/emacs -Q
load magit
try to move cursor with arrow keys in magit-status-mode
This task depends upon

Version 27.2-1 available in [community] - still showing the same error?

Same problem here. My version of GNU Emacs is: GNU Emacs 27.2 (build 1, x86_64-suse-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.20, cairo version 1.16.0)

I removed my GNU emacs completely and the installed it again (still GNU Emacs 27.2 (build 1, x86_64-suse-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.20, cairo version 1.16.0)) and the problem was gone. Strange, but i'm happy :-)
