@andrepereiradasilva,
I tested some extensions for custom error pages, such as sh404SEF and got such an error. After I applied the patch, it works without any issue. I know, I should have written to the developer, but I think, it is a bug in the core. Basically, the document should be gotten with a method JFactory::getDocument() instead of a method JApplicationWeb->getDocument().
Seems like something is breaking the application then because at least with JApplicationSite::dispatch() it is loading the JDocument object into the application's variable THEN assigning it to JFactory::$document. These events are dispatched well after that assignment happens. I personally do not consider this a valid fix; it's working around something else breaking things.
thanks for explaining michael
