I'm not sure whether that looks related or not...

Is gnus-byte-compile involved here?  I'm not sure I follow.

Anyway, I forgot about all the error-catching stuff here.

(setq debug-on-signal t)

should give you a backtrace.  But it may give you many backtraces,
because it basically makes most ignored errors give you a backtrace, so
it should only be set just before you run this stuff and then switched
off again.
