I had another look at the code, and my guess now is that this is
related to the spanNear with the single argument.

It rings some bells. One of them is that I would have preferred
to split the SpanNear class into ordered/unordered after the fix,
but that I gave up because it would take too much time.
The current SpanNear class is too complex for easy maintenance.

Perhaps the quick fix is to verify in the constructor of SpanNearQuery
that the number of clauses is at least 2, and to throw an illegal arg
exception otherwise.
