I don't have that as a function but it means it
expects an argument that is accepted by the
`number-or-marker-p' test, and now what it gets
is nil which doesn't pass.

This most often doesn't happen because some
complete lamer is sending it nil and expect it
to work, but rather some symbol is passed that
most often makes sense, only right now it isn't
set, or set incorrectly/unexpectedly to nil.
