Item4757: TWiki:Plugins.TopicCreatePlugin throughs error when expert setting "Warnings are Errors" is set.

I'm getting the following error message when I have activated the expert setting "Warnings are Errors" in configure and trying out to create the <nop>TestTopicCreate sample of the TWiki:Plugins.TopicCreatePlugin:

I'm removing my name from "waiting for" as I have no insight into the error. I guess the reason why Franz put my name there is because I posted an update to the plugin at some point. However, I was simply publishing fixes that had been noted in the dev topic and I really don't have any substantive knowledge of the plugin's code.
