Appears to be the same issue when trying to set a filter on a LTN station. Specifically, trying to use a LTN combinator to set the request. I know that's an interaction with another mod, but the Factorio error reporter says to report it here.
The mod Spidertron Logistics System 2 (2.0.2) caused a non-recoverable error.
Please report this error to the mod author.
