It's supposed to print the page name (here, it's *emacs-wiki-temp*,
which is strange ... it should prefer emacs-wiki-current-file to
buffer-file-name).  At this point, the best thing to do is to set
debug-on-error to t and try to get a backtrace.  If debug-on-error is
t, it won't try to catch the error and display that unhelpful warning.
