The reproducer for me was to save a file like this (note the first blank
lines):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---



\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
0
a
b
cf
% <----- End narrow
d
e
f
g
h
i
j{
\end{document}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Then:

  • emacs -Q
  • M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET
  • Visit the file, M-x flymake-mode RET
  • Mark '\document... End narrow' and hit 'C-x n n'
  • Put point after c and hit f

This is what the debugger says (linebreaks added manually):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
