So you kicked the can a bit further down the road.
The next bug report will be that `M-: debug-from--eval-expression` does
not return the expected value.

FWIW, the other way I came up to circumvent the problem is to test the
shape of the expression to evaluate and only use
`eval-expression-debug-on-error` when the expression is not a mere
symbol (for which the backtrace would presumably not be interesting anyway).
But then we get the weird situation where `M-x debug-on-error` can
return nil but `M-x (list debug-on-error ...)` returns a list that
starts with t.

I think I'd rather keep the current code, whose semantics is
actually simpler.
