FWIW, I'm not sure this is necessarily a bug. It looks like a bug in
your case, because you deliberately tricked Xref into using a word
that is definitely not a program symbol. But that is not the case in
a more reasonable situation, where point is on a symbol, but for some
reason the symbol's definition is not found, e.g., because the TAGS
table needs to be regenerated.
