Well it was idiocy on my part - in case anyone cares - or a future googler

I had changed my menu which started emacs to run emacs-21.3.50.23 -
during some debugging of something else - which is no longer the
latest version, so that version didn't have clear-string as a built
in, but when I was testing with -q, I was - of course running the
up-to-date version
