OK, I've now done that with commit
2dcb1bc47485791177917bfbd8fba95d69454135. At least in my experiments
only the four ones that I marked are unstable.

It's at least the same symptom ("No applicable method", but only
sometimes), so I guess it's also the same root cause (the cl-generic
cache thingy discussed in this thread). In this case the problem
already appears when expanding the bindat-type macro (i.e. when
loading or byte-compiling the file), so we'd need to exclude
bindat-tests from the test suite altogether on the release branch.
