Sorry, I've not been clear.  I mean the docstring of
org-timer--get-timer-title.

For some reason a name gets associated with each timer.  The creation of
that name is done in function org-timer--get-timer-title.  Called from
the agenda the function trys to provide the name of the headline for the
current agenda line and it raises an error in some cases when this is
not possible.  And you found such a case FWIW.
