From emacs -Q

1. $ mkdir /tmp/fake-home
2. $ echo "(custom-set-variables '(erc-modules ()))" > /tmp/fake-home/.emacs
3. $ HOME=/tmp/fake-home ./src/emacs
4. M-: (featurep 'erc) RET

Eli, can we add this patch to the release branch? It removes a single
line containing an autoload cookie that's new in Emacs 30. (I'm running
the check-expensive suite with the patch now.) Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] Don't autoload erc-modules

* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-modules): Remove autoload because it caused
customizations for this option to load the main library.  This reverts
the thrust of bb894845 "Teach customize-option about erc-modules", which
was added in ERC 5.6 and Emacs 30.  The motivation for the original
offending change was to allow new users to run M-x customize-option RET
erc-modules RET immediately after start up instead of M-x
customize-group RET, followed by an I-search.
