In Emacs 25.1/25.2:

  - emacs -q
  - C-h k
  - Click somewhere in the fringe:

    => Args out of range: "Describe key (or click or menu item): 
mouse-1", 0, 64

Same recipe in Emacs 24.5 pops up a description of the binding as expected:

=========
<mouse-1> (translated from <down-mouse-1> <mouse-1>) at that spot runs
the command mouse-set-point, which is an interactive compiled Lisp
function in `mouse.el'.

It is bound to <triple-mouse-1>, <double-mouse-1>, <mouse-1>.

(mouse-set-point EVENT)

Move point to the position clicked on with the mouse.
This should be bound to a mouse click event type.
=========

As a side note, while you click and hold the mouse in the fringe in an 
emacs-lisp mode
buffer in Emacs 25.2, the echo area indicates the current mode name. 
(This does not
happen in Emacs 24.5).  Not sure if this is related (or intentional).

Thanks, fixed.

I have no idea where this comes from.  Looks like some subtle bug.
Please submit a separate bug report.
