[ That was the case for byte-compile-error-on-warn, but that's only
  because it's defined in the byte-compiler, so I changed this to say
  "the package that contains the defcustom".  ]

I'm not sure how to improve this description, but for the many readers
who are not hacking on Emacs's bundled files this is misleading:
e.g. for an ELPA package, the autoload will not go into loaddefs.el but
into <pkg>-autoloads.el.  And for non-packaged files, the autoload
cookie will even likely be ignored because the user won't know how to
create&update&use an autoloads file.
