[mu4e bug] "Recursive load" error while bytecompiling .elc

Bug Description Compile fails with "Recursive load" error during bytecompile of emacslisp files using developmental emacs v30.0.50

How to Reproduce During standard ninja compile, byte compilation of .el files gives the following error:

/Users/cog/bin/emacs --no-init-file --batch --directory /Users/cog/src/mu/build/mu4e --directory /Users/cog/src/mu/mu4e --eval '(setq load-prefer-newer t)' --eval '(setq byte-compile-warnings '"'"'(not obsolete))' --eval '(setq byte-compile-dest-file-function(lambda(_) "/Users/cog/src/mu/build/mu4e/mu4e-draft.elc"))' --funcall batch-byte-compile ../mu4e/mu4e-draft.el
>>Error occurred processing ../mu4e/mu4e-draft.el: error (("Recursive load" "/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/jka-compr.el.gz" "/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/jka-compr.el.gz" "/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/jka-compr.el.gz" "/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/jka-compr.el.gz" "/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/jka-compr.el.gz" "/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/emacs-lisp/icons.el.gz" "/Users/cog/.emacs.d/eln-cache/30_0_50-528dc109/warnings-28e75f4d-9f48f568.eln"))

Workaround This error may be due to use of (setq load-prefer-newer t) flag when compiling, which is known to produce recursive load errors with jka-compr:

Uncompressing jka-compr.el.gz in the Emacs lisp directory allows compilation to succeed.

Environment MacOS, emacs development branch 30.0.50
