it doesn't for me.  another clue might be that i see this error not for
nil, but for what looks like a key events sequence, e.g.

    Error in winner-save-old-configurations (transient--post-command-hook): 
(wrong-type-argument stringp [3 67108896])

and once i see it, if i keep pressing non-printable keys (like e.g. up
or down), the error keeps repeating.
