Can you provide some code which leads to this error? Maybe it's a bug...

As for better error messages I agree, but this needs to be broken down into something more specific. I think we could start by looking at some use cases where a better error is clearly needed and see how it can be done.
For example one thing that crosses my mind is a validation of the properties, but this is good enough in my opinion. Here's what you get when you try to access a wrong property:

(ui/v-box :listen/height2 {:event :height-change})

leads to

#error {
 :cause javafx.scene.layout.VBox.height2Property()
 :via
 [{:type java.lang.NoSuchMethodException
   :message javafx.scene.layout.VBox.height2Property()
   :at [java.lang.Class getMethod Class.java 1786]}]
 :trace
 [[java.lang.Class getMethod Class.java 1786]

So the question is what other use cases are there which need a better error.
