The right hand side of the return value is indeed incorrect (that's a bug), but it's still not the problem you're experiencing. Could you give a recipe to reproduce your problem? I can reproduce the problem. I do exactly what you did above and get: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (args-out-of-range #^[t nil 0 1 ... event-modifiers(-268435456) prin1-char(-268435456) eval-last-sexp-print-value(-268435456) eval-last-sexp-1(nil) eval-last-sexp(nil) call-interactively(eval-last-sexp) Error or no error might be machine dependent.
