This error indicates that some server is confused about what is the current transaction or who is the sync site. In normal operation with correctly configured servers, this should be quite rare and always transient.
If you are able to read back the change, then it made it to at least one server, and the confused server will have been marked out of date and will eventually pick up a new database. So, there is no long-term ill effect.
However, if you are seeing this on a regular basis, then it seems likely you have some sort of configuration problem. Make sure all of your dbservers have the _same_ server-side CellServDB, and that it lists each server exactly once. If the servers have more than one interface, only one interface per server should be listed in the server-side CellServDB.
