To be clear, I confused things by speaking of
"loading" the library. I myself lost track of
the fact that this bug report is instead about
`find-library'. `load-library' does not have
the problem (regression) that `find-library'
suffers from. I think `find-library' should
be fixed to behave as before, which is similar
to how `load-library' behaves.
