Ok, so this points to a bug in libosso-ic.so (the library providing
the IC API) and I'll have to investigate this more. Can you give any
instructions how to reproduce it? I haven't seen this before so I
suspect there's something special needed for triggering this bug. What
770 software version are you using?

It's printed from libosso-ic.so. To be precise from src/ic-api.c line 104
which is in debian source package osso-ic-oss.
