This occurs when a miner attempts to dig out a tile that was designated for digging but was subsequently removed by other means.

For example, this can happen if a tile is designated for digging and the tile immediately above it is marked for channeling if the "dig channel" task is completed first. This can also occur when a miner attempts to remove a ramp tile that has already collapsed due to lack of support.

This also occurs when a tree or shrub adjacent to a natural stone wall is designated for cutting or gathering.
