This error will occur when the IE browser is empty. For example, this will
reproduce it:
ie.goto('about:blank')
ie.focus

I've heard reports like this and have seen some of this myself. I do see
somewhat different behavior if i run a script with an IE window already
open, instead of not. I also wonder if some of this variation is based on
OS (2000 vs XP, e.g.).
I wrote the following code to make sure extra IE windows were closed before
running Watir scripts:
count = 0
while true
begin
browser = Watir::IE.attach(:title, //)
browser.close
count += 1
rescue Watir::Exception::NoMatchingWindowFoundException
break
end
end
puts "#{count} windows closed"
