True. The first backtrace from my previous message is in a scenario
where the error doesn't surface to the user. The second backtrace,
which does not include `rfn-eshadow-update-overlay', is the failure
case.

    No Emacs Lisp load-path shadowings were found

At the breakpoint in the failure case, and actually in the success cases also:

    non-essential is a variable defined in `simple.el'.
    Its value is nil

Comparing rfn-eshadow-update-overlay to completion--sifn-requote, I
notice that the former wraps its call to substitute-in-file-name with
condition-case, whereas the latter does not. I believe the user-error
is signaled in both cases, but in the former it's handled by
condition-case, whereas in the latter nothing handles it.

I'm able to work around the problem with:

But it seems that there must be a copy of minibuffer.el compiled into
the executable (?). Even though the completion--sifn-requote is
already defined, before my copy becomes active, I have to explicitly
(load-library "minibuffer").
