I just now repeated the recipe.  You can do the same, BTW.

 sendmail-query-once-function is a variable defined in `sendmail.el'.
 Its value is mailclient-send-it

I thought I typed `n'.  Perhaps there is a different bug if you type `y'?

Anyway, I just did it again, from emacs -Q.  This time I saw again the "Args out
of range: 105527, 105528" error.  Here is the tail of *Messages*:

report-emacs-bug-hook: Please edit the From address and try again
Sending...
Sending via mail...
Configure outgoing SMTP in Emacs? (y or n)  n
Setting `sendmail-query-once-function' temporarily since "emacs -q" would
overwrite customizations
apply: Args out of range: 105527, 105528

3419 is `point-max' in buffer `*unsent mail to...', BTW.  The original buffer,
from which I invoked `report-emacs-bug', has length 105526.


Also, BTW, this is the message ID:

 Message-ID:
<kryr553sfkv.fsf <at> MYMACHINE.i-did-not-set--mail-host-address--so-tickle-me>

Who knows what kryr553sfkv.fsf is.  MYMACHINE is my machine name.  Are users
required to set the mail-host-address also now?  How many hoops will you force
users to jump through, just to support your new "feature"?

----

But let me try once more, this time with debug-on-error = t. This is the
backtrace when I hit `n' to the SMTP config question:
