I'm lost. I have applied the same recipe as you, with both native
compilation enabled and disabled in Emacs. No problem.

Which Emacs version do you run, when you call emacs -Q? I have

emacs-version => "30.0.50"

emacs-repository-version => "8678708ad10b17a4609c950a02cf39ab9ff86317"

Best regards, Michael.
