No.

I tried that, and message always said I'm in the buffer I was supposed
to be in, even though the next message was the error.

To be super-safe I added

    (assert (eq major-mode 'clojure-mode))

before every single form of my function!  Right now, I only have one
clojure-mode buffer open.  The original post-command-hook error still
occurs, but the assertions are always true anyhow.  So it doesn't seem
to be caused by being in the wrong buffer...
