Research direction
Reproduce the failure by hovering over A in the Lua snippet, then start at script/vm/global.lua:640 and trace the calls through script/vm/visible.lua:182 and script/core/hover/table.lua:105. Done means the reported hover request produces no error popup and still returns the expected hover information for the reproduction.
