~tsdh/highlight-parentheses.el#6: Error running timer ‘highlight-parentheses--highlight’: (wrong-type-argument overlayp nil)

I recently started seeing this error pop up randomly in my Emacs, and managed to get this backtrace:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument overlayp nil)
  overlay-start(nil)
  highlight-parentheses--highlight()
  apply(highlight-parentheses--highlight nil)
  timer-event-handler([t 26120 29583 160101 nil highlight-parentheses--highlight nil nil 0 nil])

This seems to happen mostly when I switch buffers. I see that highlight-parentheses--highlight is run on a timer. Perhaps it needs to either set the current buffer to the one that was current when highlight-parentheses--initiate-highlight was called, or else simply do not run if the buffer has changed (I don't know much about this package so I do not know which is the appropriate behavior here).
