This is because eglot--post-self-insert-hook assumes last-input-event
is a character:

 (defun eglot--post-self-insert-hook ()
   "Set `eglot--last-inserted-char', maybe call on-type-formatting."
   (setq eglot--last-inserted-char last-input-event)
   (let ((ot-provider (eglot--server-capable :documentOnTypeFormattingProvider))
	 ;; transform carriage return into line-feed
	 (adjusted-ie (if (= last-input-event 13) 10 last-input-event)))
                          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

But in this case we get the symbol 'newline' as the value.

The easy way out is to use characterp before comparing with =, but I
actually think there's a deeper problem here, because the code which
uses this post-self-insert-hook _wants_ to process inserted newlines.
So I think a better fix here would be to use last-command-event, not
last-input-event.  All the other post-self-insert-hook implementations
use that, AFAICT.

Stefan, am I right?  Can last-command-event, when accessed from
post-self-insert-hook, ever be something other than a character?
