ESC-s or M-s do work for me. What "didn't work" for you, exactly?
One possible gotcha is that you need to go to the first message in the
folder (C-u 1 j) before starting the search, because M-s searches
forward from the current message.

Wrong type argument: listp, 40
a) Any idea what that means?... b) why did it appear?

Right after typing ESC-s, or after you typed some regexp at its
prompt? If the latter, what did you type at the prompt?

Set debug-on-error to a non-nil value and see what's in the backtrace.
Oh, and make sure ESC-s indeed invokes rmail-search and not something
else (use "C-h c" to see the binding).
