With the current Emacs 25 pretest, this signals an error:

  Wrong type argument: window-live-p, #<window 7>

Can someone reproduce this with the latest pretest of Emacs 25?

Looks like some help-echo event is constantly generated, but I don't
understand what portion of which buffer causes this, and as I say
above I see a different problem.
