With a file App.js that looks like:

import * as React from "react";
import { render } from "react-dom";

const App = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1 id="abc">hello</h1>
      <SearchParams />
    </div>
  );
};

render(<App />, document.getElementById("root"));


If you open the file in JS mode (Emacs 27), and move point inside of
"abc", calling

M-: (c-beginning-of-defun)

gives the following error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument hash-table-p nil)

  c-forward-<>-arglist(nil)

Manually invoking C-M-a inside the double quotes should end the same way.
