You mean, you get the error after typing "M-x keymap-global-set RET"?
If so, I cannot reproduce this with today's master.  I did:

  emacs -Q
  M-x keymap-global-set RET
  C-x g
  goto-char RET

(where "C-x g" is a key sequence, i.e. press Ctrl and x, then press g)
and didn't see any errors.

This code is not in the current function on the master branch.  Are
you sure your sources are up to date?
