AFAICT it comes from these lines (line 776 and following) in
`cconv-analyze-form' in cconv.el:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
    (`(,_ . ,body-forms)    ; First element is a function or whatever.
     (dolist (form body-forms) (cconv-analyze-form form env)))
#+end_src

It's not an explicit error but just dolist barfing.

Michael.
