Not exactly.  (numberp flyspell-pre-point) checks the variable before
buffer is switched in `flyspell-post-command-hook' at which point the
variable changes the value.

I confess that I'm not sure how the variable may be nil in given buffer
with `flyspell-pre-buffer' not being nil since those are always set
together, but for some reason I experienced a behaviour which I could
only explain if the following is true:

        (and flyspell-pre-buffer
             (with-current-buffer flyspell-pre-buffer
               (not flyspell-pre-point)))

I was experiencing the problem every time I sent an email signed with
PGG.  I've never experienced it doing anything else or sending the mail
without signature.  The error in *Messages* reads:

        Error in post-command-hook (flyspell-post-command-hook): 
(wrong-type-argument integer-or-marker-p nil)

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a minimal set of configuration which
makes the problem appear, so it may be caused by interactions which
whatever hundred of configuration options I'm using.

If you wish to take a look, my configuration files are:
* https://github.com/mina86/dot-files/blob/master/dot-emacs
* https://github.com/mina86/dot-files/blob/master/dot-mail

If you want I can try and take a deeper look later on, but cannot
promise anything this week.
