Please quote the contents of plugin/02tlib.vim around line 77.

Error 1208 is quite clear: I expect there to be a ":command" command
that defines a user command, with a "-complete" argument but not
allowing for arguments. There is more info if you look for help on the
error number
:help E1208

Some more checks were added for Vim 9 script. They may also affect
legacy script commands. That is unlikely though. This is best fixed in
the script. Then it is also fixed for other users of the script. Can
you contact the author or maintainer?

I don't think we can fix this in Vim. The error is valid, if we skip it
then mistakes will go unnoticed. With Vim 9 script we want to find more
errors, not less. So long as they are valid errors.
