I'm afraid I still have no explanation (except possible BLODA) for the 
aborts that you're getting.  After about six days of experimentation on 
my system, here's what I see:

1. No aborts or crashes.

2. Lisp errors involving timers, similar to yours, but only on 64-bit 
Cygwin and only when using Tramp.

3. With a build from the emacs trunk, the Lisp errors are gone.

In a few days I'll have time to make a build from the trunk available to 
you in case you want to see if that solves your problem.

Ken
