I did not see this with emacs -Q, but this is what I saw:
I marked some files in Dired, then did `dired-do-chmod'. At the prompt
I entered "a-w". This is the backtrace:

This bug can happen when you do `dired-do-chmod' on a non-Dired buffer
(it calls `dired-do-redisplay' that fails when called not in Dired).
If you can't reproduce this bug, it should be closed as notabug.

I see. But I was in Dired at the time, I'm pretty sure. Anyway, so far I have
not seen the problem again, so if you would like to close the bug feel free to
do so.
(That was with the 24.1 release, however, not with a development snapshot.)
