xemacs-package rule hasn't really been thought to be used with a
non-tagged commit, I think it's easier to create a package by making a
fake release-commit instead of cloning twice the repository.  BTW, why
don't you just copy the directory instead of pulling the remote
repository again?

Also when creating a fake release-commit I can confirm your error,
which isn't issued when creating the package for release 11.88.  I'll
need some time to debug this, probably a week, unless someone else
finds the culprit before me :-)

Bye,
