I was discussing this with a colleague of mine, and he had a hypothesis
that might be correct.

The code in org-write-agenda looks like it has been rewritten to make
FLET be expanded at compile time, so it needn't be present at run-time.

However, I wonder if this was done properly, or whether the backquote
expansion is causing the /body/ of the flet to be evaluated at run-time
(instead of having it be macroexpanded once at compile time).

This would account for the symptoms I'm seeing:  I tried putting a DEBUG
statement before the call to ps-print-buffer-with-faces, and that debug
statement was never executed, further, when I examine the value of the
FILE local variable in the debugger, it clearly isn't a value that would
trigger a call to ps-print-buffer-with-faces.

I believe what's wanted here is macroexpansion and not evaluation, yes?
