Because then the lambda would never get byte-compiled--the
non-byte-compilation of the lambda expression is the problem, not the
solution. As I understand it, which I may not. Cf. Wulf’s second error
message:

(40) (general/warning) Error in unknown: Invalid function: (macro .
#<compiled-function (&rest cdr) “...(6)” [cdr function lambda] 3 737017>) 

and the output of 

(symbol-function 'lambda)
=> (macro . #<compiled-function (&rest cdr) "...(6)" [cdr function lambda] 3 674424>)

Whether this addresses his first error message is an open question.
