This one hints at speedbar. Are you using the speedbar module?

And this one points to advice. Any advice usage here?

Usually you can narrow the real culprit by eliminating/reducing your
emacs init files until the error disappears. Then search from there on.

Look also at <http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#bug-reporting> and
<http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#minimal-emacs>.
