Okay, after going into ebdb-vm.el and provoking the above error by
eval-ling the (when t ...) statement, I'm now seeing the same bug when
exiting search groups. In my case I'm seeing it when
`nnselect-push-info' is cycling over mark types, and reaches "bookmark",
which is of type 'tuple: the first mark of that type.
That puts us into the (eq mark-type 'tuple) branch of the cond for the
first time, which is also the first time it runs:
(map-merge
'list list
(alist-get type (gnus-info-marks group-info)))
There are no bookmark marks in this group, so naturally we get the
no-applicable-method error for "nil".
This does nothing to explain how this code doesn't error normally, or
how on earth raising a `require'-based error would change its behavior.
I'm out for the rest of the afternoon, but I'll restart Gnus and look at
how it works in a non-broken setup later in the day.
Eric
