Yes, I know I've answered this before... :-)

Anyway - here's the reason nager:sprites22 happens

1. A genuine error occurs
2. The wimp decides it needs to reload the hi-res toolsprites
3. It does so
4. It displays the error message

However, what happens in step 3 is that the buffer used to build
the command for loading the sprites also happens to be the wimp's
error buffer - consequently the original error gets overwritten
by the tail end of WindowManager:sprites22.

This is fixed in RISC OS 3.60.

So - there's a real error there, which you need to track down.
