I’ve seen a couple of these recently. It’s because the particular user that’s being accepted to the group has a blank locale for some reason (rather than `null` or a specific value like `en`).

A fix has been put in place to prevent this error:

If you update your site and pull that fix in that should stop those errors and allow those users to be accepted to the group. 👍
