That's all you need to do, I believe, to reproduce it. Edit an option value to make it invalid - e.g. edit an integer field to be 2.5. Then choose Set for Current Session in the State menu. You will not see an error message in the minibuffer frame (which is where the echo area is), or anywhere else. The message does get logged to *Messages*, but the user gets no feedback at all. Note that mouseover messages appear fine in the echo area. E.g. turn off tooltip-mode and put the mouse over the State button. You will see the text in the echo area. Likewise, other Emacs messages, as produced by `message' and `error', for instance, appear fine in the echo area. It is only Customize messages that do not appear anywhere.
