It's the same error that Ken Mankoff encountered:

     http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/84826

I believe there was one more instance of this but I couldn't find it
in gmane.

Try this patch:

Untested and based on some assumptionts that I have not verified: that
outline-next-heading returns a buffer position, except when there is no
next heading, in which case it returns nil. put-text-property wants
buffer positions though, so in that case we return the end-of-buffer
position.
