I can confirm this bug, and I think I've found the culprit:
'display-time'. At least that one always triggers the bug for me. It
seems this happens when the modeline gets updated (i.e. at the full
minute).

Therefore, use this recipe to reproduce the bug:

* emacs -Q
* M-x display-time RET
* Evaluate the code Tassilo posted
* The error will appear at the next full minute.

Tassilo, if you do not have (display-time) in your .emacs, look for
other stuff that could update the modeline in the background.
