Okay, done. I could not reprodcue the problem you describe, but it is clear
enough how it should be fixed (I hope I did that in SMW 1.2.2!). I added
further similar checks in other places, since I realise that assuming the
Factbox to be initialised is never safe when you are a hook.
Please let me know if this works for you.

P.S. I sticked to "=== NULL" since I do not like working with isset much. NULL
at least is some value -- it reminds me of proper programming languages ;-).
P.P.S. We should consider refactoring that whole semdata/SMWFactbox
architecture, also to address the problems I started discussing earlier
(subparsers killing SMW data). The current code gets more and more cluttered
with checks that are needed just to make sure that nothing unexpectedly reset
our title or deleted our data. And I fear there are yet more checks one would
need to make it failsafe in all cases.
