My guess is that the text you quoted is irrelevant here.

A wrong-type arg error is a product bug, even if it is often only a minor
problem. Please try to reproduce it, starting with `emacs -Q', and then report
it using `M-x report-emacs-bug'.

Often, such a bug occurs because of a lack of proper initialization of something
(typically a variable that is supposed to be a string is nil by default).

The same code that raises the error often performs initialization, so after the
error has been raised once, initialization has occurred and the error is never
raised again. That can explain why it "went away without any apparent
intervention from you." There is nevertheless a bug.
