But the second backtrace posted by David is unrelated to selections.
It is still in GC, but that GC was invoked from funcall, not from
selection-related code.
So it sounds like some invalid object is indeed created, but not
necessarily during selection conversion. Unfortunately, debugging GC
crashes is not easy; see etc/DEBUG for some guidance.
