Well, same as debugging in any other language, it's just it helps to
know the language.  The "Debugging Lisp Programs" node in the Emacs Lisp
manual (info pages) will help.

I'm going to try to get to this this week/weekend.  Unfortunately, my
time is not completely my own right now (mom recovering from surgery --
in the long run she should be fine, but right now she needs lots of
help, so that's taking most of my spare time ATM).  Sorry for the delay.

Thanks for the extra reproduction case!

Best,
