The backtrace says that all-completions was called in a way that
either its first or its second argument are/include an invalid data,
whch doesn't produce a valid string.  How this could happen is
anybody's guess, because the backtrace you show is quite deep and
includes 3rd-party code.

We need a reproducible recipe, starting from "emacs -Q", to reproduce
the problem, so we could debug it here and find the reason(s).  Can
you please provide such a recipe?  It is okay to include in the recipe
commands that load add-on packages, as long as you clearly tell where
to get those packages and how to load them.

Thanks.
