Datagrid internal error

A customer encountered the following execution error (below) in our app 
(built on Livecode 9.6.7, MacOS 12.5). This error is occurring in the 
scrips for the Datagrid itself, rather than our code. At the end, it is 
one of our handler, "populateMe", where line 139 is where the error starts.
Line 139 set the dgProp["columns"] of grp "rwMatrixObj_DataGrid" to 
tColumnNames

tColumnNames is a variable containing a list of text lines that are 
customer entered column names, so they could be ANYTHING (up to 255 
chars, no control characters, including DEL (127)) that a user could 
type or paste into a field, including words in any language using Unicode.

As the executionContexts data does not contain the actual values of the 
variable tColumns when the error occurs, does ANYONE have any idea what 
tColumns might contain that could produce the error(s) show below?
