That code is not at top-level; it is being called by the erlang-mode
function.
At the moment I placed it right inside my local copy of the erlang.el
function
`erlang-electric-init' which gets called by what is defined by a
(define-derived-mode erlang-mode) form.

I won't leave that code there once I understand the behaviour.
I'm just modifying my local copy of erlang.el to
1) understand that code better
2) eliminate as many external sources of disruption while I investigate.

BTW, I'm trying to get it working on Emacs >= 26.1 if this matters.
