I think I tracked it down: The problem is emacs24, that is the
autoload.el that it bundles.

With emacs23 it doesn't honor the path of the file it's passed, but with
emacs24 it does, resulting in "lisp/file" autoloads.

I don't see an easy solution, that's not plain dirty.[1]

I consider adding the base directory along with the `lisp' and maybe
`contrib/lisp' directories quite dirty ;)
