The problem has been the last-line adjustment of evil (see another
recent thread in this mailing list for a description). This adjustment
happens in a post-command-hook. But it has been removed in commit
f45a6d9 (git) resp. 394e8be (hg). That's why we assume that your tree
has not been updated correctly. Please do the following steps:

1. update your tree (maybe create a new fresh clone)
2. remove *all* compiled files (`make clean')
3. check with 'make term' or 'make emacs'
4. if the error still occurs, check with 'grep evil-with-adjust-cursor
   *.el' whether `evil-with-adjust-cursor' appears somewhere in the code,
   if so then your tree has not been updated correctly to the latest
   revision.
5. please tell us your Emacs version and revision you use

Currently I'm not able to reproduce the problem, so I can't help you.
