Hi, and thanks for all the work on tab-bar-mode!

It appears as though describe-key fails when the mouse is pressed on a
non-currently-active tab in the tab-bar:

emacs -Q
M-x tab-bar-mode
C-x b RET
C-h k (then click the mouse button on a non-currently-active tab):

From what I see, you clicked the mouse button on the tab close button, right?

Then I can reproduce the same problem, and it seems the bug is in
Help mode that can't handle lambda as a function, it supports only
function symbols.  A complete backtrace:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument symbolp (lambda nil (interactive) (tab-bar-close-tab 1)))
  help-fns--globalized-minor-mode((lambda nil (interactive) (tab-bar-close-tab 1)))
  run-hook-with-args(help-fns--globalized-minor-mode (lambda nil (interactive) (tab-bar-close-tab 1)))
  describe-function-1((lambda nil (interactive) (tab-bar-close-tab 1)))
  describe-key((([(tab-bar) C-current-tab] . [(tab-bar) C-current-tab])))
  funcall-interactively(describe-key (([(tab-bar) C-current-tab] . [(tab-bar) C-current-tab])))
  call-interactively(describe-key nil nil)
  command-execute(describe-key)

Anywhere in a non-active tab, not just on the tab close button.

The message about the image file not being found is unrelated (probably,
anyway), seems to be another bug or issue with my build. I get *tons*
(thousands) of these messages but haven't had time to look into it yet:

Cannot find image file ‘/build/source/etc/images/tabs/close.xpm’
Cannot find image file ‘/build/source/etc/images/tabs/new.xpm’

Thanks,
Alex

I see that today Lars fixed this help-mode bug in f2cbc7214f, so
now it's possible to use lambdas in menu items.

Please try again.

I don't know why your build has no images, but I'll fix these warnings
by checking if the image exists.

Yes, that seems to be fixed so I'm closing this report. Thanks!

I've opened bug#37685 for that.
