How about running it under GDB with a breakpoint on report_file_error
and on xsignal?  If you start GDB from the src directory of the Emacs
sources, the .gdbinit file there defines a command xbacktrace which
will produce a Lisp-level backtrace in addition to the C-level
backtrace produced by the "bt" command of GDB.
