This looks like you are missing some Sitecore items.

The Sitecore items are needed to trigger goals in relation to Web Forms For Marketers. The particular message you are getting relates to a Goal that is triggered when a user enters a value in a field that is outside the boundaries of the field.

These page events should be under this node in the content tree:

/sitecore/system/Settings/Analytics/Page Events

You should have events such as Field Out of Boundary , Form Dropout under there.

To get these, you may have to go directly to the WFFM install package for version 2.4 rev.140923. It might be that the upgrade package does not have them or assumes that they are already in place.
