I added the following to early-init.el to workaround this

Hmmmm I'm surprised the code from site-lisp.el doesn't appear to be working (I realise it won't run for the snap run --shell emacs case but it should get run automatically by emacs on startup for the eshell example)

[sergiusens]

The only thing I can say that changed is that I blasted away my .emacs.d (moving away from my one month of spacemacs) and retangled my literate emacs.org (which had been previously working) and this started happening.

This seems very similar to https://github.com/alexmurray/emacs-snap/issues/73#issuecomment-1774075962 - which was due to some cached variables apparently. Can you try make sure there are no old .elc files or similar? Cheers
