Hello, I haven't looked at this but judging from the general shape of
function and error message, it seems clearly a bug that needs to be
fixed somehow. I'll try to make time to look at it sometime soon, but I
have other bugs to investigate and fix, so it may be some time.
I fear your proposal of ignoring the object may be the best we can do,
but I don't like it much.
