I cannot reproduce the problem any more - trying to examine things in
gdb did not produce enlightenment, as the problem seems to be timing
sensitive, so adding breakpoints or tracing in my experiments often
stopped the problem.

From memory I think that involved compiling a trampoline, and
comp-spill-lap calling one of the comp-spill-lap methods, which was
probably
  (cl-defmethod comp-spill-lap-function ((form list))

I cannot reproduce this any longer as I have updated various software,
so this bug can probably be closed (and reopened later if the problem
becomes visible again).
