I'm not sure if this counts as an answer or a work around. Yesterday after updating the emulator in Android Studio to version 27.0.2 under SDK Tools I received the exact same error on all of my AVDs. The error appeared on multiple windows laptops I have running Android Studio whenever I started any virtual device in the emulator. The only things I had done to both the laptops in the last day was update Android Studio and I ran a general Windows update.

After some testing I found that if I change the configuration on the virtual devices in the emulator under "Emulated Performance - Graphics" so they use Software GLES 1.1 the error goes away. Before that I had the default setting of Automatic. I tested starting up the virtual devices with the Emulated Performance Graphics setting on Hardware GLES 2.0 and the error came back. No hardware or display drivers were changed on either of my laptops so no idea why the error came up all of a sudden after the Emulator update.
