The first case will crash-and-burn if some of the settings in
custom-file only work after some of the code in the user's
user-init-file.

The second case is completely different, because the user has control
over where the (load custom-file) is placed, so if it crashes-and-burns
when placed at the very top, he can move it elsewhere.
