This is probably "json-readtable-error", which is, unfortunately,
about the most generic error the JSON parser can give.

This is definitely not expected behavior. Does this happen when
you're searching for messages or when you're viewing a thread? Can
you give any more details on what you're doing when you get this
error?
Try doing M-x toggle-debug-on-error and then triggering the error.
Hopefully Emacs will give you a buffer with a backtrace that will give
us a better idea of where this is happening.
