feature is correct here; it's just the argument name.

@Michael Thanks for that help. Here's more info.

Here is what I got in my backtrace:

I see a call to package--build-compatibility-table() in my backtrace
whereas it's not present in yours.

Then I slightly tweaked your require advice, and replaced (debug) with
messages.

=====

;; (package-initialize) ; Do NOT delete this comment
;;   In emacs 25+, the `package-initialize' call is auto-added to the top of
;; init.el unless the user already has a commented or uncommented
;; `(package-initialize)' line present in their init.el.
;;   I call this function in setup-packages.el and so am keeping the
;; commented out version here so that package.el does not add it again.

(advice-add 'require :before
   (lambda (feature &optional filename _noerror)
     (when (or (eq feature 'finder-inf)
(and (stringp filename)
    (string-match-p "finder-inf" filename)))
;; (debug)
(message "feature: %S" feature)
(message "load-file-name: %S" load-file-name)
(message "filename: %S" filename)
(message "---"))))

(load (locate-user-emacs-file "my-package-setup.el") nil :nomessage)

=====

Here's the full *Messages* buffer output when running "emacs":
https://gist.github.com/kaushalmodi/debb736534728df7482d4bc1487f2c3e

Here are the relevant lines from that:

=====

Loading
/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/share/emacs/25.0.93/lisp/leim/leim-list.el
(source)...done
Finding pointers to doc strings...done
feature: finder-inf
load-file-name:
"/data/data/com.termux/files/home/.emacs.d/my-package-setup.el"
filename: nil

feature: finder-inf
load-file-name:
"/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/share/emacs/25.0.93/lisp/loadup.el"
filename: nil
---
For information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system, type C-h C-a.

=====

When running "emacs", the finder-inf is required twice: once by
my-setup-package.el and second time by loadup.el.

When running "emacs -Q -l init.el" or "emacs -q -l init.el", finder-inf is
required just once, by my-setup-package.el.

Also, here are the patches needed to be done to few .el files for emacs to
work in Termux:
https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/tree/master/packages/emacs

I realized one important piece of info (I think) while reviewing those;
that emacs is running undumped. Could that be a source of this issue? Would
that explain the difference in behavior between "emacs" and "emacs -q -l
~/.emacs.d/init.el"?
