Indeed.
The output from the debugger (I haven't taken the complete lines of
bytecode, one of them was 1700+ chars long, and I doubt anyone would
find them interesting):
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p e)

not exactly your average .agentview file, luckily it's even a
extremely-low-traffic and low-interest group.
It's too late for me now, to try and fix this, and see if there are
other problems, but now I know how to get on with it. Thank you to both
you and Jesse.
