Maybe you can show us a piece of the code.  fileLocation() is only defined
on headers and bodies, but it gets called on a part (which contains a
head and a body)

I may have found a buglet on this one, in Mail/Message/Body/Multipart.pm:

    $self->{MMBM_epilogue} = $epilogue if defined $epilogue;
    my $end = defined $epilogue ? ($epilogue->fileLocation)[1]
            : @parts            ? ($parts[-1]->body->fileLocation)[1]
                                               ^^^^^^ required
            : defined $preamble ? ($preamble->fileLocation)[1]
            :                      $begin;

Nearly all multipart message have some kind of epilogue, but maybe
some erroneous multiparts (for instance viruses) do not end cleanly.
Any chance that this helps?
