I think I have found the real culprit behind this problem. The undo-tree
package
saves its history in a very direct form which looks like this:

I spare the rest, because the crash is happening while reading the form
starting at [cl-struct-undo-tree ...
Actually, the point is near the end of my lines on #^^[1

Emacs shouldn't crash while reading data it has been able to write (well,
at least I would expect it).
Could it be that the syntax-table structure has been changed recently in a
way that makes it impossible
to read one that has been printed with a previous version of emacs?
