Must be my and and can't be my code -- tracing back a URL pattern type mismatch

I'm helping out on a project, but am running into a paradox of a bug must existing in the code, but no project code is called.  Not sure how to deal with this one.  It looks related to URL setup and the urls.py file is practically identical to the examples.  Can anyone make sense of this stack trace?
