Please look in the helm code to find this eval expression. The
problem is likely there. In a nutshell, some helm code seems to be
incompatible with pre-redisplay-function (probably something related
to region or some such, but that's just a guess at this time).

See above: please investigate helm code some more, it shouldn't be
necessary for us to install helm to find the offending code. You are
the helm maintainer, so you are in a much better position to find the
offending code there.
Once the code is found, please show it here, and we can take it from
there, perhaps asking you a few questions.
Thank you.
