This brought to a light a more direct bug that could be reproduced in
the non-GUI build (by setting mouse-wheel-mode before loading mwheel.el)
and the fix to that bug fixes the use of `custom-initialize-delay` as
well so I pushed it to `master`.

[ It's hard to test those things in all the various ways they can be
  loaded, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it won't introduce
  another bootstrap problem elsewhere, but since it's now "more
  normal", I'm hopeful.  ]
