Here is a (slightly) less obscure translation:

• line 2654, char 1: error #69, Chunk: error in object expression — hint: graphic id 74731 of group id 69783 of card id 1002 of stack "/Users/prothero/Oceanography Projects/LiveCode-RunRev Projects/PT_Explorer Projects/EarthExplorer_CurrentWkg/appStacks/datastacks/Map Display.livecode"

If you're interested, here's a handler that explicates error messages a little bit:

function expandError pErr
   -- expands LC runtime error numbers, with explanatory text
   --    "explanatory' is a relative term….
   -- probably based on a handler from someone on the use-LC list, not sure who
   -- requires sr()
   
   put the name of the target into tName
   repeat for each line e in pErr
      put item 1 of e into errNbr
      put item 2 of e into tLineNbr
      put item 3 of e into tCharNbr
      put item 4 to -1 of e into tHint
      put "•" && tName & ": line" && tLineNbr & "," && "char" && tCharNbr & ": " into tErrMsg
      put "error #" & errNbr & ", " after tErrMsg
      put sr(line errNbr of the cErrorsList of card 1 of stack "revErrorDisplay") \
            after tErrMsg
      if tHint <> empty then
         put " — hint:" && tHint after tErrMsg
      end if
      put tErrMsg & cr after errorlist
   end repeat
   return sr(errorlist)
end expandError

function sr pStr
   -- sr = "strip returns" -- actually, strips all white space fore and aft
   return word 1 to -1 of pStr
end sr
