I can indeed reproduce it. I'm not sure yet what's going on, but it
might be due to the "Lisp nesting exceeds `max-lisp-eval-depth'" error
happening in the unwind-protect code (i.e. while undoing the `g'
binding). The explanation can't be quite so simple, but my gut feeling
tells me it's got to do with it.
