FatalError: Length cannot be less than zero (4272496)

The error message below is encountered when performing the copy/move operation:

[URL and timeblock]: FatalError: Length cannot be less than zero. Parameter name: length at System.String.InternalSubStringWithChecks(Int32 startIndex, Int32 length, Boolean fAlwaysCopy)

Typically, a custom column definition is the origin of the problem (NOTE: This can be FAB 40 template). The problematic column is defined as a user column, but its definition is missing an attribute or its value.

1. Open the source list settings and identify the column that is causing the issue.
2. Navigate to the location where the custom column has been defined. NOTE: It is usually ..\Template\Features\<LIST FEATURE>.
3. Edit the schema.xml file using any text editor such as Notepad.
4. Add the "List" attribute with a value of "UserInfo" such as the example below:

   <Field
   ID="{BED99611-EDE0-41cb-8C05-0FBD96A15D0F}
   AppendOnly="TRUE"
   Name="UsrAxceler"
   DisplayName="User Axceler"
   Sortable="FALSE"
   SourceID="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/v3" 
   Group="Axceler Columns"
   List="UserInfo">
   </Field>
