This gives rise to the following regression:

0. emacs -Q
1. (setq Man-notify-method 'aggressive) C-x C-e
2. M-x man RET mythical RET

This used to pop up and very quickly hide a window (but that's a
separate issue), and then the echo area displayed:

  Can't find the mythical manpage

Whereas now the phantom window remains displayed much longer, the echo
area displays:

  error in process sentinel:
  Wrong type argument: window-live-p, #<window 8>

and the *Messages* buffer also contains:

  error in process sentinel:
  Man-bgproc-sentinel: Wrong type argument: window-live-p, #<window 8>

Ideally a non-existent manpage would result only in the "can't find"
message, without any inadvertent Lisp errors or window dances.

Thanks,
