1. Start emacs -Q

2. Define in the scratch buffer
   (defun broken-command ()
     (interactive fundamental-mode))

3. Switch to fundamental mode
   (fundamental-mode)

4. M-X brok TAB ===> Error (see below)

The problem is that the (current-local-map) is nil. This breaks
the predicate of execute-extended-command-for-buffer.

I'm unable to reproduce this problem in either Emacs 28 or 29.  Are
there additional steps needed to reproduce the bug (or has this been
fixed since this was reported)?

There are no additional steps. I can still reproduce this in Emacs 28.
The problematic definition is:

          (keymaps
           ;; The major mode's keymap and any active minor modes.
           (cons
            (current-local-map) ;; can be nil!
            (mapcar
             #'cdr
             (seq-filter
              (lambda (elem)
                (symbol-value (car elem)))
              minor-mode-map-alist))))

The map is nil, when I evaluate in the scratch buffer:

1. (fundamental-mode)
2. (current-local-map) -> returns nil

I haven't tried 29 yet, but the problematic definition is still present
there. However maybe where-is-internal has been changed to accept nil
keymaps?

I can reproduce with a master built from today.

I need to enable `debug-on-error', otherwise I only see a minibuffer
message indicating the error, the minibuffer survives.

Lars, be sure to follow the recipe with all details right - no M-x
instead of M-X, not "bro" instead of "brok" etc - then the recipe
"works" for me (and the analysis given by the OP makes sense to me).

HTH,

Michael.

Ah, I think I didn't type "brok" exactly.  I can reproduce the problem
now, and have fixed it in Emacs 28.
