When I try to C-x C-f a file the file opens but the buffer isn't brought
to front. Instead, the frame is split. Apparently, it is because of
the following error message:

vc-find-file-hook: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

The full *Messages* log since start of Emacs is following:

vc-find-file-hook: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

The *Backtrace*:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
   file-symlink-p(nil)
   vc-find-file-hook()
   run-hooks(find-file-hook)
   after-find-file(nil t)
   find-file-noselect-1(#<buffer imutex.cxx> "~/lockmgr/src/imutex.cxx" nil 
nil "~/lockmgr/src/imutex.cxx" (-16560 (33003 . 25103)))
   find-file-noselect("~/lockmgr/src/imutex.cxx" nil nil t)
   find-file("~/lockmgr/src/imutex.cxx" t)
   call-interactively(find-file)

Removing Mtn from vc-handled-backends "fixes" the problem.
