Please give us a complete recipe.  When I do...
  C-c C-a ~/tmp/mml-bug RET RET RET RET
I get:

<#part type="application/octet-stream" filename="~/tmp/mml-bug" 
disposition=attachment>
<#/part>

Please show us the MML markup in the message buffer before sending.
Use `mml-quote-region' to send the uninterpreted MML markup!

When I add `(debug)' in mm-insert-file-contents an `[C-u] M-x
mml-preview RET', I get a plain...
  "~/tmp/mml-bug"
... where your backtrace shows...
  "#(\"~/tmp/mml-bug\" 0 13 (auto-composed t))".

I cannot reproduce this with " GNU Emacs 23.0.60.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu,
GTK+ Version 2.10.6) of 2008-05-22".  Maybe a transient problem in
Emacs CVS?

In the future, please report problems with CVS versions to the
development list(s), ding@gnus.org (Gnus) or emacs-devel@gnu.org
(Emacs), not tot gnu.emacs.gnus.

Bye, Reiner.
