OK, so your `time-add' is definitely an Emacs Lisp function. But:
It says
time-add is a built-in function in ‘C source code’.
(time-add A B)
Your Emacs claims that `time-add' is a built-in C function. So something
is very odd here.
I rely on your knowledge here.
And:
On a bare-bones Mint 19 with no .emacs and using emacs -Q (capital Q)
the *messages* buffer contains:
[...]
Checking for load-path shadows...
Checking 255 files in /usr/share/emacs/25.2/lisp...
Checking 41 files in /usr/share/emacs/25.2/lisp/vc...
Checking 33 files in /usr/share/emacs/25.2/lisp/url...
Your Emacs is issuing some messages that Emacs do not normally do on
loadup -- even with an "emacs -Q", which should be impossible.
Aha. I was certainly puzzled that there were messages when using -Q
I can only guess at what's going on, but the most likely explanation for
these very strange behaviours is that the people who have packed up your
Emacs version (in Mint 19) have done some highly non-standard things.
So you should perhaps report this as a bug with the Mint people instead.
Who typically packages debs for a distro: Emacs people doing it for
their fav distro, or distro people doing it cos they want Emacs?
I'm baffled that the entire Emacs-using community on Mint (or perhaps
that should be the Mint-using community of Emacs users) hasn't found
this and lodged a bug report.
And there was that additional comment on the emacs.se site from a Mac
user who got the identical messages.
I'm going to try some other distros from USB and see what their emacsen
do. The Emacs on other platforms exhibits the same bug, I'll be back :-)
Thanks for all your help.
