Grrr!  I'm sure I've seen this problem before, a while ago in fact, and
I remember that the mere solution was to rename a few variables all over
some Emacs LISP source.  The sad thing is that I do not remember which,
nor why.  It was something like changing `...:-pos' to `...:-position',
maybe.  I likely reported the problem, whatever it was.  The trick Lars
gave you, that is "(setq debug-on-error t)", should help you identifying
where the problem occurred, at least.
