C-x (
M-x desktop-save

will result in the desktop file being unusable unless defining-kbd-macro
is removed manually. Adding defining-kbd-macro to
desktop-minor-mode-table does not change the problem. I believe this is
because defining-kbd-macro does not follow the usual convention for
minor modes, and therefore defeats this code in desktop-create-buffer:

(let ((handler (cdr (assq minor-mode desktop-minor-mode-handlers))))
  (if handler
      (funcall handler desktop-buffer-locals)
    (when (functionp minor-mode)
      (funcall minor-mode 1))))

(I'm going through old bug reports that have unfortunately gotten no
attention yet.)

I tried reproducing this in Emacs 27, but was unable to.

If I follow your recipe (from "emacs -Q") my .emacs.desktop file does
not contain anything referring to "defining-kbd-macro".

Do you still see this in a modern Emacs, or has it been fixed in the
intervening years?

More information was requested some weeks back, but no response was
given, so I'm closing this bug report.  If you're still seeing this
problem, please reopen.

Hm, for some reason I didn't get a notification for the comment you sent
in august. Just tried it and it worked without problem, guess it was
fixed sometimes during the past 8 years! Thanks for tackling this.
