Okay, then probably is one of the other four c-* functions we see in the
backtrace.

Yes, .eln load is "transparent" and triggered automatically while
loading a .elc file when the corresponding .eln is found in the
`comp-eln-load-path'.

To force the .elc to be loaded one has to bind `load-no-native' to
non-nil.
