bug#13529: 24.3.50; wrong-type-argument with show-paren-mode

[Aaron Ecay]

The following is with emacs trunk built from git commit 36964d8b4 (Tue
Jan 22 15:48:00 2013 +0400)

1) emacs -Q
2) M-x set-variable debug-on-error t
3) M-x find-library paren
4) M-x eval-buffer
--- steps 3 and 4 are to get a better backtrace of byte-compiled functions
5) C-x b *scratch*
6) M-x show-paren-mode (mode is now enabled)
7) type ) – i.e. a closing parenthesis
8) Receive the following backtrace
