Where / how do you get this line?  This line is not a part of the
default value of bbdb-mua-mode-alist.  And this is not a user
variable, but it is intended to be a constant.  So yes, you should
delete this line (though this step should not be needed in the first
place).

An error in this context should not be related with a particular
mua.  Can you try to get a more detailed backtrace from an
uncompiled bbdb?
