Gah, sorry, I had misunderstood what you were saying to mean that you
couldn't reproduce the issue whatsoever. That clarifies things.

Perhaps I wasn't clear—the codesign command currently listed in
PROBLEMS will not function on its own as it needs an entitlement file
to read from, which is what the `--entitlements' flag takes.

I think you're right that additionally it would need to be codesigning
the Emacs.app bundle to have any effect, due to what I mention below.

Well, I wasn't able to get the jimeh build to load without hiccups
until I let the eln cache dir be its default of being inside the .app.
If you think it's worth confirming, I can investigate further?
