Some serious messup in the display code. The backtrace basically says
that the display engine became very confused regarding stuff that
comes from buffer and from various display/overlay strings or images.
I haven't seen aborts in bidi_pop_it since I don't remember how long.
I am not familiar enough with ERC support in Emacs -- is it possible
that Emacs tries to display some partial byte stream that includes
incomplete characters, i.e. the byte sequence for some character(s) is
incomplete?
