I haven't seen this error before. I can see several potential reasons for this:
1. You are doing something that causes a large number of entries per
row  (very large number of couplings, maybe some weird constraints?)
2. We have a bug in deal.II that could be related to not communicating
things correctly to PETSc or within PETSc how it hands stuff to MUMPS.
This could be likely to happen if a single processor has no own DoFs.
You can experiment with a tiny test problem and many processors and
see if that triggers it.
3. Your matrix is not invertible but you only trigger a problem with
MUMPS in certain cases.
4. You actually need to change the settings for MUMPS. It looks like
this is easy to do:
