It doesn’t appear to be tied to a addon.

I had to do a full interface reset to fix it. Rename/delete your Cache, Interface, and WTF folders and see if that helps.

The place to troubleshoot LUA errors is Guides > UI and Macro

I’m getting this too, it just starts popping up randomly. When it starts it tends to keep on happening for a while till I do a UI Reset

Triggers seem to be stuff like looting, using the transmog window, checking currency .. fairly random and at random.
