Can you give a recipe starting from emacs -Q showing how to get this
error?

I couldn't reproduce it, and x-popup-menu has code to handle this
case.

Perhaps you are on Windows, since the version of x-popup-menu in
w32menu.c seems to be missing the relevant part from the xmenu.c
version.

          /* If a click happens in an external tool bar or a detached
             tool bar, x and y is NIL.  In that case, use the current
             mouse position.  This happens for the help button in the
             tool bar.  Ideally popup-menu should pass NIL to
             this function, but it doesn't.  */
          if (NILP (x) && NILP (y))
            get_current_pos_p = 1;
