   Although I'm not sure of it, the following patch seems to solve

Your patch does not seem to solve a related problem I reported earlier
on emacs-devel, so it probably is not a complete solution:

   Changes in byte compilation which must be less than a day old, have
   strange effects.  `winner' is no longer usable when winner.elc is
   used, but still seems to work fine when winner.el is used.

   After `emacs -q' I get the following ielm run:

   *** Welcome to IELM ***  Type (describe-mode) for help.
   ELISP> (load "winner")
   t
   ELISP> (winner-sorted-window-list)
   *** Eval error ***  Symbol's function definition is void: t
   ELISP> (load "winner.el")
   t
   ELISP> (winner-sorted-window-list)
   (#<window 3 on *ielm*>)

   ELISP> 

   Byte compiling winner.el produces:

   In end of data:

   Comments:

   The first two warnings are probably legitimate.

   The function `t' stuff appears to be a bug in byte compilation.
