... and the complete backtrace? Does it look like the partial one
you posted before? In particular, is the argument to goto-char nil?

If that's the case, and assuming I'm in the right place in the source
code, *Messages* shows the correct value for the matched string but the
backtrace shows that match-end returned nil which means that the regexp
*did not match*.  Both of these two cannot be right (unless there is a bug
in the emacs regexp matching code, which for now at least, I'm
discounting).
