Did you use (error <expr>) in the parser specification? [And did you
record the source location in the tokens?]

 > (parser args ...) where the possible args may come in any order (as
   long as there are no duplicates and all non-optional arguments are
   present) and are:

  ...

  > (error expression) expression should evaluate to a function which
      will be executed for its side-effect whenever the parser
      encounters an error.  If the src-pos option is present, the
      function should accept 5 arguments,
      (lambda (token-ok token-name token-value start-pos end-pos) ...).
      Otherwise it should accept 3,
      (lambda (token-ok token-name token-value) ...).
      The first argument will be #f iff the error is that an invalid
      token was received.  The second and third arguments will be the
      name and the value of the token at which the error was detected.
      The fourth and fifth arguments, if present, provide the source
      positions of that token.
