But if you install the package now, you won't get any byte-compiled
modules at all. If you parse the sentence as being about
"re-byte-compilation" (which I think is correct), then surely it
implies that the modules have already been byte-compiled?

Right, there's no hurry :) Thanks for working on this bug!
