Answer 1

Be sure that you've added both fragments to the backstack!

I just ran into this issue when adding a new 'called' fragment for result on top of a 'target' fragment. Initially, I was getting the same error, which stopped occurring as soon as I added both fragments to the back stack whenever I used them.

The issue occurred on screen rotations, so it was easy to reproduce.
