> To reproduce,
>    Visit a library file containing a `require' form, e.g.,
>    "M-x find-library RET yow RET". Search for a `require' form and
>    position point on its the opening left parenthesis.  Invoke
>    `find-library' interactively with "M-x find-library RET".
>
> Symptom
>    Instead of prompting for a library name, Emacs displays the error message
>    `Scan error: "Unbalanced parentheses", 1222, 1'.
>
> Problem
>    The error is in the interactive form of `find-library' in `find-func.el'.
>    If point is over the opening left-paren of the `require' form then
>    `function-called-at-point' returns `require', whereupon `backward-up-list'
>    fails because point is not in a list.
>
> Suggestions (for what they're worth :)
>    (a) Handle this special case in the `find-library' interactive form.
>    (b) Modify `function-called-at-point' to do what its docstring says.
>    (c) In the `find-function' interactive form, use `condtition-case'
>        to detect errors in computing the default.
