This makes compiler debugging harder since it crashes Emacs instead of
signaling a clean error :-(
Maybe this actually should not be an error at all, and instead
`bytecomp.el` could skip emitting trailing `unbind`s and rely on
`exec_byte_code` doing the unbinds instead.
I think this would result in a speed up (and a more compact bytecode)
with dynbind code. Not sure how it'd work out with lexbind code where
it's much more common for functions not to need any `unbind`.
