I think it's related to evaluation in the *scratch* buffer. Try typing
M-: and then eval the expession there -- it works as advertised.
But how exactly the *scratch* buffer makes it fail, I'm not sure. I
tried to eval (previous-line 3) in the scratch buffer, and it dutifully
went up some lines before inserting "nil" (the return value).
