The latest CVS is a fine place to start with CEDET.  What you reported 
is the same problem I ran into.  If you use what did compile to start up 
XEmacs with a typical install (thus loading lots of .el files instead of 
.elc files) you can compile the grammars using EDE.  A side effect is 
that I have no idea how to debug this, nor really what the error means. 
  That's where I need some help from an XEmacs expert.

Of course, I was using XEmacs 21.5 which is probably older.

Thanks!
