bug#38878: 26.3; EBDB fails to mark role as defunct

Hello.  I use the latest EBDB (0.6.11) on an updated Spacemacs (develop
branch) atop GNU Emacs 26.3 on an updated Debian buster.  Emacs was
compiled locally and installed with GNU Stow.

I cannot mark EBDB roles as defunct.  To help you with reproducing the
bug, I reproduced it on a GNU Emacs configuration where the only
customization was augmenting `package-archives' (despite it probably not
being necessary to install EBDB ) and installing `ebdb'.  I also used a
minimal EBDB database.  After setting everything up, I started Emacs,
invoked `toggle-debug-on-error', opened the dribble file and quickly
reproduced the bug.

In short: invoke M-x ebdb; <RET> twice; move to the John line on the
ACME record and press E; toggle the defunct mark; try to apply.

The backtrace:
