| OK, I've included "(setq debug-on-error t)" in my .emacs, killed the
| emacs daemon, and started a fresh one.  As I feared, the same error
| doesn't occur right now.  Eventually it may appear again, and then
| I'll send you the backtrace.  But, does that mean you expect
| that we may see a different backtrace from the one I sent
| you before?

It seems that this error eventually starts as you continue to use an
emacs daemon:
