Unlike Teej, I have used emacs before ... pretty much daily for the last
15 years or so :)
Like Teej, I also am unable to reproduce this issue in Ubuntu Jaunty
9.04 (amd64) with the supplied instructions.
My attempt at replication from a bash shell prompt, using the
information provided by the submitter, is:
# Make sure emacs and emacs-goodies-el are installed
sudo apt-get install emacs22 emacs-goodies-el
# Run emacs and evaluate the elisp which should trigger the reported issue
emacs -- no-site-file --no-init-file --batch -l <(echo -e "(set-variable
'debug-on-error t)\n(setq load-path (cons
\"/usr/share/emacs22/site-lisp/emacs-goodies-el\" load-path))\n(require
'emacs-goodies-el)\n(ctypes-read-file nil nil t t)\n)")
This does not generate an error or backtrace at all on my system.
In case it helps:

It is likely that this bug really does exist, but the supplied
information appears to be insufficient to reproduce it.
In particular, the variable c-font-lock-keywords-2 is used within
ctypes.el and is defined in cc-fonts.el. But the supplied elisp is just
not triggering the problem, at least for me.
caludo: Any ideas on a more reliable way to trigger this bug? Or could
try to a fresh install of Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 and reproduce it there
(maybe in a virtual machine, if you don't have a spare PC for this sort
of thing)?
Thanks! BTW, once I can reproduce it, I can probably create a debdiff
and get a fix uploaded fairly quickly...
