Shortly after I received your message, I updated my (M)ELPA packages to
their latest versions, and was rewarded with a "symbol's function
definition is void" error for a function in compat. I decided to use
the big stick, and did a

(byte-recompile-directory package-user-dir nil 'force)

And guess what, no more freeze happening since. I'll continue keeping an
eye on it though.
