Looks like it comes from petscdmlibmesh.C line 182.

I'd try running in dbg mode if you haven't yet, and see if that comes up

This only seems like it would happen if you have no active elements on a
given processor.  Are you running in parallel on a very small mesh?

Other than that, maybe Dmitry has an idea.
