I've been able to reproduce the problem.  It is caused when you try to
back up into a missing article with { or [.  The assertion in art.c
fails, and trn kicks you out.

The following thread diagrams provoke this behavior:

  (1)+-(1)
     |-(1)--(1)
     \-(1)+-(1)
          |-(1)
          |-(1)
          \-(1)
 -( )--(1)
       ^^^ if you are here and use { or [ trn breaks
========================
 -( )--(1)
       ^^^ likewise, here
 -(1)
  ^^^ and here
