I narrowed it to the simplest case. This error occurs only when `M-x man'
is executed in the *Messages* buffer. (The shortest key sequence to
reproduce it: `C-h e M-x man RET man RET')
Putting the gdb breakpoint on `wrong_type_argument' gives the following bt:

2132 int eqv = RE_TRANSLATE (eqv_table, start);
(gdb) xprintsym eqv_table
"nil"
i.e. eqv_table in the *Messages* buffer is nil.
I have no idea why it should be nil in the *Messages* buffer,
but `Man-translate-references' fails when it tries to run
`string-match' in this buffer.
