I too have seen this problem just yesterday.  There must be something
going on, it is unlikely that this is a coincidence.

In the backtrace I saw that the function had been called by name with
zero arguments.  But on top of the backtrace the symbol-function had
been shown (a closure).  I also wondered about that.

I verified that the function was only accessible via
`window-scroll-functions'.  My code did not use the function in any
other place.

Some entries below in the backtrace was `redisplay' - so... somehow
`redisplay' is sometimes calling functions in `window-scroll-functions'
with zero arguments.  Maybe the buffer local binding of
`window-scroll-functions'.

Please tell whether this information suffices and you already have some
idea or if I should try to create a recipe.  I guess this must be
related to a recent change from within the last few days.

Michael.
