I have experienced receiving that error message when using a field
construction such as:

{ IF { REF Check } "{ MERGEFIELD itemnumber } { MERGEFIELD itemprice } "
"{ MERGEFIELD itemnumber } { MERGEFIELD itemprice }¶
" }{ SET Check "{ MERGEFIELD itemnumber } { MERGEFIELD itemprice }" }

But after clicking on the OK button to dismiss the error message, the merge
executes as required.

Hope this helps.
