I let Achim be the final judge on this -- my intuitions in this areas
are just too fragile.  But my gut feeling is that this would be too
complicated, and the solution above is simple enough.

Please ask this on the emacs-devel mailing list, I'm sure this will help
many other users.  Several users (including me) have been puzzled by the
way ELPA packages are loaded/initialized in Emacs.
