Bug in Tk 8.5 with bgerror(?)

This bug appears in wish8.5 only (but could still be a Tcl bug)
% after 1000 {set x y z}
Messagebox appears with error (so far so good),
but in "Details", it rambles about tclIndex
not being found in /usr/local/lib/tclIndex
(indeed, it resides in /usr/local/lib/tcl8.5/tclIndex).

After that, every further bgerror-dialog (for other
errors thrown in event-handlers) comes up with
the correct errorInfo.

I would submit it to Sourceforge, but I can't really
tell if it's a bug in Tcl (with all the new extra dict-
support for errors), or in Tk failing to properly use it.

Anyway, this bug is not in Tcl/Tk 8.4.7.
