This is pretty strange.  The code in question is

  (when (and unsafe (not (stringp from)))
    (pop-to-buffer bufname)
    (goto-char (apply 'min (mapcar #'(lambda (x) (car (cadr x)))
                                   unsafe))))

If `unsafe' is an empty list, it should not have passed the `and'
conditional.
