I can trigger it reliably using the following skeleton init.el:

(setq savehist-autosave-interval 10)
(savehist-mode)
(setq epg-pinentry-mode 'loopback)

Visiting a test.gpg file and afterwards encrypting it symmetrically
gives the following error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument listp t)

  funcall-interactively(save-buffer 1)
  call-interactively(save-buffer nil nil)
  command-execute(save-buffer)

Attempting to quit Emacs after that gives the following error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument listp t)
  savehist-save(t)
  savehist-autosave()
  kill-emacs()
  save-buffers-kill-emacs(nil)

  funcall-interactively(save-buffers-kill-terminal nil)
  call-interactively(save-buffers-kill-terminal nil nil)
  command-execute(save-buffers-kill-terminal)

These errors start to happen every time there's a minibuffer prompt for GPG
decryption.
