First, I recommend you to remove your byte-compiled init files
because the old stuff, such as inline functions and macros,
may be embeded in the *.elc files.

If you still have a problem with the MELPA version, please remove
the old versions, restart Emacs, and then reinstall it.  Because
the MELPA version may be affected with the old stuff when
byte-compiling.

Personally, I prefer the Debian version.  The Debian version is not
affected with the old stuff when byte-compiling.  If you think the
Debian stable version is buggy, you may pick a more recent version
from Debian testing, the current version is w3m-el-snapshot
1.4.632+0.20200302.2210.03ea43b-1.
