Research direction
Start by inspecting mage.client.game.HelperPanel.java at lines 541, 234, and 178, following the popup-menu path shown in the stack trace. Reproduce the reported GUI interaction if possible and determine the conditions around the component location lookup; done means this interaction no longer produces an unhandled IllegalComponentStateException.
