Indeed, I didn't check carefully enough.  Even better!

My crystal ball says it's just because of a lack of
`package-refresh-contents` or something like that somewhere.

It will, indeed.

This call to `package-initialize` should not be necessary on recent
Emacsen (but it used to be needed, indeed).  If you find it's still
necessary with Emacs `master`, please report it as a bug.
