Steps to reproduce

1. I installed packer.nvim following instructions. This was a "clean" packer install (I am migrating from vim-plugged)
2. Via packer, I installed telescope, a colorscheme and that was functioning nicely
3. I then installed treesitter and added configuration (in after/). I allowed packer to install TS
4. Packer stopped working and I could not install any more plugins.

I then went on to re-install packer (git clone after deleting directory). No longer am I able to call any :Packer... command (they are not available). I do not see any errors on startup.

I removed all tree sitter (and other plugin) configuration. Slimming down to init.lua with this ensure:

-- Ensure packer is installed. See lua/bartek/packer.lua for dependencies
local ensure_packer = function()
  local fn = vim.fn
  local install_path = fn.stdpath('data')..'/site/pack/packer/start/packer.nvim'
  if fn.empty(fn.glob(install_path)) > 0 then
    fn.system({'git', 'clone', '--depth', '1', 'https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim', install_path})
    vim.cmd [[packadd packer.nvim]]
    return true
  end
  return false
end

local packer_bootstrap = ensure_packer()

And a lua/bartek/packer.lua with the following contents:

vim.cmd [[packadd packer.nvim]]

return require('packer').startup(function(use)
  -- Packer can manage itself
  use 'wbthomason/packer.nvim'

  -- Automatically setup configuration after cloning packer.nvim
  if packer_bootstrap then
    require('packer').sync()
  end
end)

I've tried restarting terminal, OS, and forcing installs etc, but no luck.
