The problem was that the byte-compiled version of files.el (files.elc) had been corrupted. Other .elc files may have been corrupted as well, but we didn't bother checking; we just recompiled all the Lisp files. If you don't want to recompile all that stuff you should be able to get by with just deleting files.elc. Emacs will use files.el instead.
