Try to turn on debugging and post the traceback.

M-x set-variable RET debug-on-error RET t RET

Then trigger the error. Hopefully, you will get a buffer *Backtrace*.
Copy its contents to the list, and maybe someone can work out what
happened and why.

To clean up, type q in the *Backtrace* buffer to quit the debugger and
revert the setting of the debug-on-error variable:

M-x set-variable RET debug-on-error RET nil RET
