I have no idea.  I would hack the IC (very old) code and change the
error message to include the name of the file.  That might help you
track down the cause of the problem.  Any competent Interchange
consultant will be able to help you to do this.

On the other hand, I would probably just remove the page auto-refresh
from the checkboxes and make the user click on a refresh button, thereby
side-stepping the issue altogether.  In fact, I'd probably remove the
checkboxes and make the user set the quantity to zero (and hit the
refresh button) to remove items.

If all else fails, you could upgrade Interchange.  If the problem still
exists in the latest version then it might get looked at, and fixed in
the core. :-)
