Yup.  Or perhaps just issue a message that it's not doing anything --
this is a pretty obscure situation, after all.

By the way, do we have a convenient command for "compile but don't
generate the .elc file" somewhere?  (I feel like I've asked this before,
but I've suppressed the memory of the answer.)
