What does this error message in editor mode mean?

I have an error that I'm pretty sure has to do with bad event replication (can't recreate if not in a load balanced environment). This error occurs when trying to edit the start page and Episerver starts making some AJAX Get requests. The Url is https://domain.se/EPiServer/cms/Stores/contentdata/5_160?dojo.preventCache=1479455634252 and the entire error message is ->

So I used DotPeak to see what this DefaultLanguageSettingsHandler is doing but I can't get my head araound it.


What I can see from DotPeak is that this ValidateCircularReference throws this InvalidOperationException when "visitedContents" contains the same page

    private void ValidateCircularReference(ContentReference contentLink, HashSet visitedContents)
    {
      if (visitedContents != null && visitedContents.Contains(contentLink))
      {
        DefaultContentLanguageSettingsHandler.log.Warn((object) string.Format("Failed to Get because there are circular references for contents : '{0}'", (object) string.Join(",", visitedContents.Select((Func) (c => c.ToString())))));
        throw new InvalidOperationException("Failed to Get because of circular references");
      }
    }
If I check the log I can see this 
2016-11-18 10:49:05,285 [159] WARN EPiServer.Core.Internal.DefaultContentLanguageSettingsHandler: Failed to Get because there are circular references for contents : '84,5,1,4'

so I ran a sql query and got this
pkId fkParentID ContentPath Content typ
1 NULL . SysRoot
4 1 .1. SysContentFolder
5 1 .1. UtvecklingStartPage
84 4 .1.4. SysContentAssetFolder

Now the page I'm on is that with pkId 5 and this page has one property, a Content area, that for the moment is empty. So I have no clue why I get this circular exception.

based on al this information I have three questions

1. What is DefaultLanguageSettingsHandler responsible of?
2. Why and when can this error occur? (I mean, how can the start page reference it self when there is no content on it?)
3. How do I make this error dissapear?

Thanks.

This is something we experienced with cms core 10.0.1. Have you filed a bug/ticket with Episerver, Andreas?
