The problem is not with *compilation* alone or with *xref* alone, the
problem happens when you have both of them.

I think removing it will leave us with a lesser evil.  Maybe leaving
that code commented out with a reference to bug#20489 would increase
the discoverability of the problem, and we could have a solution
sooner, I don't know.

We could also have a defcustom (to enable this in *xref*), but that
sounds too much, no?

Thanks.
