It has an if statement that checks whether the strand mode is 1 or 2. Then, it tries to subset the variable 'x_unlisted'. However, if strand mode is 0, neither of the conditional sections of code are executed and Error in .local(x, use.names, use.mcols, ...) : object 'x_unlisted' not found happens because the 'x_unlisted' variable has not been created.

Thanks for catching and reporting this. Should be fixed in
GenomicAlignments 1.11.12.

Maybe because few people know they can set the strandMode to 0. I think 
most people with unstranded protocol just use the default strandMode
(i.e. 1) and specify ignore.strand=TRUE when calling countOverlaps() or
summarizeOverlaps().
