How do I begin to debug this? Is there a filename somewhere and I'm blind, or is the error, for some reason, not showing the filename

I would hope you would be testing your build.boot file as you write each new function and so the error should have only occurred in the very latest code you added...

One debugging aid is to run boot -b to see the generated build file. So boot -b | cat -n is going to give you a line-numbered version of the actual complete build file -- which might help match line: 54 against your code.
