I filed this as a bug report with Emacs, but they replied that it
didn't matter since the functions in subr.el are a subset of the
functions in cl-macs (ie anything that works with the functions
from subr.el should also with the ones from cl-macs.el).
cl-macs.el has more functionality, which may be needed (and that
is allowed for at compile time in Emacs).

I hope this sheds some light ...
