Research direction

Start with the minimal-init.el reproduction and the company-complete interaction described in the issue, then trace the evil-repeat-post-hook entry point that reports the error. Run the reproduction in the requested Emacs setup; done means invoking company-complete no longer produces the wrong-type-argument error.
