Yes, moving the native compilation cache makes the problem disappear!
(And moving it back makes it reappear...)

Thanks!

Now I understand why the other local user was not affected.

Before I upgraded to trixie, I was using magit and transient from elpa,
but then I upgraded to elpa-* packages to simplify things.  I guess that
my package version history is pretty unique and as such the particular
manifestation I observed might be very rare.

I kept the eln-cache-broken directory in case it can somehow serve to
debug the deeper problem at play here.  Please let me know if there’s
a way in which we can help Emacs upstream here.
