Seems like this may be a side effect of a recent change adding GIF
support in macOS (I'm CCing the author, Alan Third).

In nsimage.m:111 (ns_load_image), there is this call to add_to_log:

add_to_log ("Unable to set index %d for image %s", index, img->spec);

but img->spec is a Lisp_Object:

(gdb) ptype img->spec
type = struct Lisp_Object {
    EMACS_INT i;
}

Maybe "%s" doesn't cover Lisp_Objects?  At any rate, that seems to be
what the error message is about.
