Got a LUA error?

First of all, no idea what that is or means. Here is the error I got on my character select screen, can anyone tell me what’s up or what I need to do:

Hello. I got one today at character select screen as well… but didn’t know how to post the log… someone help here? What does this error mean?

EDIT: To be clear, it didn’t just pop up randomly… it popped up when I changed a setting and then hit “Apply” on the character select screen.

Frame XML errors are notoriously hard to pin down.
