OK, now I can reproduce it on a 32-bit system. As has been said, it's
because things like:

(encode-time 1 0 0 1 1 2039)

fail on such systems ("specified time is not representable").

This does avoid the problem for me.


I will see if this can be handled more gracefully, but I see no need
for this to be changed before the release of Emacs 22. Assuming, as
Nick says, that this happens in the next 30 years...
