It's not a relevant message.
Anyway, I managed to get a useful backtrace, which revealed the real
problem, and a trivial fix:
Lisp Backtrace:

"let" (0xffff19d0)
"mapcar" (0xffff1d50)

I feel like we are miscommunicating.
Neither of the errors mentioned in the original report (NSTATICS,
internal-echo-keystrokes-prefix) have anything to do with the real
problem. They are just noise caused by an Emacs with half its loadup
missing falling through to the command-loop and inevitably failing
miserably. This is not informative. If there is an error loading loadup,
it should print it and abort. (I see I am repeating
http://debbugs.gnu.org/22975#38 ).
