autoload-gen doesn't record methods, resulting in some common-lisp functions not working unless a function in defining file is first autoloaded

[aruttenberg]

To reproduce:

(describe-object 'foo t)
-> #<THREAD "interpreter" {56BF7C}>: Debugger invoked on condition of type SIMPLE-ERROR
  There is no applicable method for the generic function #<STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION DESCRIBE-OBJECT {1FDDDE5A}> when called with arguments (FOO T).
;; autoload of describe also loads describe-object
->(describe 'foo)
<elided>
->(describe-object 'foo t)
FOO is an internal symbol in the COMMON-LISP-USER package.

Looks like might only be a rare issue since I see other cases that must land up getting autoloaded as part of the usual lisp startup.
