Because `thing-at-point' doesn't return always a string, as
`form-at-point' currently assumes.  It might return a different
type depending on what you have in
(get thing 'thing-at-point)

emacs -Q:

(with-temp-buffer
   (require 'thingatpt)
   (insert "1")
   (let ((res
          (cond ((and (number-at-point)
                      (form-at-point 'number)) 0)
                ((and (number-at-point)
                      (not (form-at-point 'number))) -1)
                ((and (not (number-at-point))
                      (form-at-point 'number)) -2)
                ((and (not (number-at-point))
                      (not (form-at-point 'number))) -3))))
     (pcase res
       ('0 (message "OK, both 'number-at-point and 'form-at-point successfull"))
       (-1 (message "'number-at-point' works but (form-at-point 'number) fails"))
       (-2 (message "(form-at-point 'number) works but 'number-at-point' fails"))
       (-3 (message "Both 'number-at-point' and (form-at-point 'number) fails")))))
=> "’number-at-point’ works but (form-at-point ’number) fails"

Well, it looks like `form-at-point' was assumed to be used only for
implementing the foo-at-point functions, (form-at-point 'sexp 'numberp)
does work fine for this.  But we may as well let (form-at-point 'number)
work too, since it's the more obvious way to call it.

I suggest keeping the `ignore-errors' strictly around the
`thing-at-point--read-from-whole-string' call.

Thank you for the e-mail.

In my case i use lib thingatpt+, so i have:
(get 'list 'thing-at-point)
=> tap-list-at-point

That causes `list-at-point' always fails regardless on where
it is the point, for the same reason: `tap-list-at-point' returns
a cons not an string.

Ok, corrected the patch:

Opps i said master because i am too used to say that.
Probably the fix should go to the emacs-25 branch, right?

It depends on when was this problem introduced.  Can you tell?

The problem in my snippet code appear since commit 748b0d84 (Emacs-24).
That solves my question: it should go to the master branch.
Thank you.

An interesting test-case would be

(with-temp-buffer
   (require 'thingatpt)
   (insert "1a")
   (forward-char -1)
    ...

Than cursor is at "a" and every form fails.

Same with (forward-char -2)
