I think you have the direction backwards: electric.el uses the
autoloaded variable *from* elec-pair.el.

As far as I know, the only way to be sure of testing all dependencies
is deleting all elc files, i.e., a full bootstrap minus the C
compilation (using ccache can help automate the "minus the C
compilation" part).

The elisp-mode.el problem is what causes the align.elc failure: the
byte compiler uses elisp-mode.
