Can you set debug-on-error non-nil and post the full backtrace when
the above error happens?

If you can, given the backtrace, figure out what part of arc-mode.el
needs to be changed, please tell what you found.  Failing that, please
post here a small .odt file that can be used to reproduce and debug
this problem.
