Not "undefined" as I worngly stated above, but rather:
(wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
It seems to happen iff the file's in Version Control (cvs here),
and not all of the time.
Here you are:

will check on that one. How would one enable backup-by-copying
just for rcp.el'd files?

I'll check again, but, as I said, I didn't even see this, and
my colleague wasn't able to reproduce it¹.

Nope. We just use pure fsf rms gnu emacs.
¹) - Maybe due to the "someone's looking" phenomenon. He actually
called me to "stare at [his] screen, please!" in order to make
