An extraction of emacs-w3m that causes exactly the same problem
with the most recent XEmacs 21.5 is attached below.  There are
a defsubst and two defcustom's.  After the byte compilation, the
first defcustom has "#1=#FOO" and "#1#"s, but the second one
has only "#1#"s.  Because of this, the elc file cannot be loaded.
