[GNC] Odd Error

This warning originates from planned upgrades to options.

If a new date option eg report date "next Easter" is created, the saved
options will try store its representation, and an older version cannot
understand it. This error message is meant to handle whereby previously it
would crash. I'm not sure why it would trigger when upgrading version.

To help investigate please feel free to share the relevant saved-reports
section... I am sure there's no sensitive data within an asset piechart
saved-report.
