Right.  And I'm afraid the stepping will need to be done on machine
instruction level, i.e. "stepi", not "step".  The backtrace looks
completely bogus, it doesn't even show the file names correctly, let
alone line numbers.

The main issue here is why CHECK_LIVE_WINDOW doesn't do its job in
that case.  It does here, and signals an error because nil is not a
live window.
