I see this too on mac (todays trunk from cvs). I wonder if it has been there all the time since bug 408190? Hmm.

(In reply to comment #2)

Same error with ChatZilla or Venkman.

Stack doesn't help:
{{
#0: function updateCheckUpdatesItem() in <chrome://communicator/content/utilityOverlay.js> line 481
#1: function onpopupshowing(event=MouseEvent:{0}) in <chrome://venkman/content/venkman.xul> line 1
}}

utilityOverlay.xul assumes that the overlaid file contains a <stringbundleset id="stringbundleset"> that it can lay its stringbundle over.

Fortunately there is a simple workaround in removing the id from utilityOverlay so that the stringbundle is always overlaid as a separate stringbundleset.
