Yes, I agree it has to be check. Having .emacs.desktop file with series
of the folkowing kbd macro definitions:

(desktop-create-buffer 206
     ...
     '(defining-kbd-macro global-auto-revert-mode)
     ...
)

append argument of start-kbd-macro is false. But because there is no 
last kbd macro,
check fails. I guess then .emacs.desktop is incorectly written. Thus 
resulting in
proper check fail.

CHECK_VECTOR_OR_STRING -> wrong_type_argument -> xsignal2 -> xsignal

void
xsignal (Lisp_Object error_symbol, Lisp_Object data)
{
   Fsignal (error_symbol, data);
   emacs_abort ();
}

emacs_abort then has to be called after Fsignal finished. Or is there a 
back jmp back to main loop or somewhere else?
