I see the code where this happened. I'm going to move this to Beta Bugs so I can mark the issue and close it. It will be fixed in 512.1427.

The problem has something to do with the Child control checking to see if it should use a child's custom cursor or not. Somehow the hit test to reveal which window the cursor is over is returning null, and because of that, and the absence of a splitter on this control, it thinks you're over the splitter; so when it tries to ask if the splitter is also visible, it crashes.

I believe the issue is the result of a blank Child control. If you fill that with a dummy pane when it's not in use, I believe that will suffice as a workaround. Of course if this isn't your game, you'll have to let the author know.
