 Wonderful, you're welcome, and understanding is treasure! :)

 Thank you very much for this; it brings us closer to figuring out a 
 reproducer.  Maybe this time we'll finally figure out how to trigger it 
 (hopefully there's only one bug!) reliably, which of course will point 
 to what actually cause is, and thus towards a resolution. 
  
 At what point did you switch from ELPA-from-upstream-packages to 
 Debian-provided elpa-* packages?  I'm guessing it's this: 
  
   1. Bookworm's Emacs 29.4 with Debian-provided-packages. 
   2. Installed Emacs 30.1 from bookworm-backports, which broke many 
   packages because compatible backports of those packages were not 
   provided. 
   3. So you solved this by deinstalling the affected Debian-provied 
   elpa-* packages and installing ELPA-from-upstream-provided ones. 
   4. Upgraded to trixie. 
   5. Did you run Emacs and activate magit at this point? 
   6. How did you deinstall ELPA-from-upstream-provided packages? 
   7. Installed Debian-provided elpa-* packages. 
   8. Opened Emacs and...breakage (in at least magit)

 Thank you!  I'm curious about a couple of things, but let's start with 
 this:  Do you have the following eln-cache subdirs (if you include full 
 output, please `ls -l`)? 
  
   29.4-6c7920b0, 30.1-9b0c1374, 30.1-e3a6a941 
   # 30.1-9b0c1374 is for the bookworm-backport on my system 
  
 Then, let's move you good eln-cache someplace safe, and then copy 
 eln-cache-broken to eln-cache to resurrect the bug.  Then 
  
   $ strace -e open emacs > ~/.emacs-eln-bug.strace 2>&1 
  
 to see if Emacs is opening transient's native-comp bits from the right 
 cachedir.  The most efficient way to attack this problem is probably 
 something like 
  
   1. Search for "30.1-9b0c1374", the bookworm-backport eln-cache 
   2. Search for a line that looks something like: 
  
   openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/user/.emacs.d/eln-cache/30.1-e3a6a941/ 
 ransient-ff32346b-0aab668a.eln", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 9 
  
   Please use some kind or regex, pattern, or glob-enabled search for 
   this!  I expect that you'll find that Emacs is loading from the 
   correct cache dir, so this test is mostly to establish a baseline. 
  
 The test after this will be to determine why our elpa-{transient, 
 magit*,etc} packages didn't invalidate the cache generated from 
 ELPA-from-upstream native compilation...that's a much harder thing to 
 debug.  I'm guessing the resolution to that will probably look like 
 adding a method where the ELPA-source injects a source-cookie (GNU ELPA, 
 MELPA, dh-elpa, etc) so Emacs can use ELPA-source-cookie to invalidate 
 the eln-cache.  Foo-pkg.el seems like a convenient place for this. 
  
 Cheers, 
 Nicholas
