Is the arg array too small then and must have MAXPDARGS+1 elements instead?
In the loop, the "at" pointer subsequently points to the elements of "arg". If the switch statement is reached with a value of "nargs == MAXPDARG", then "arg" points to a position outside the array.

This patch causes this message when clicking on abstractions and subpatches in run mode:
error: pd_vmess: only 5 allowed ... you might be able to track this down from the Find menu.
I think this patch might be invalid since nargs is only used to send to typedmess() as argc, in which case 5 is the appropriate value.
