It's just a transmission error.
Without masquerading, the kernel doesn't tell you about it. For masqueraded packets, it does as this might signal a problem with the masquerading code.
Which means: if you seldom got these, it's ok, don't worry about it. If you've you've got a whole bunch, then there's a problem.
