My apologies: my original posting, which had the necessary information, got truncated. I am using emacs 23.2.1 from Debian testing. apropos-do-all is t. The error occurs regardless of what I pass to apropos-documentation, interactively typically; e.g. C-h d .*documentation.* RET gives the error as does any string really, whether a regex or not. I will report a bug if nobody can suggest anything that can alleviate this problem. Or I may try to install one of the 24.x snapshots, I guess.
