There were custom validation error(s) encountered while saving the affected record(s). The first validation error encountered was "Formula has no columnType". 

 

I can't find doumentation of this error.

Those imagaes are tiny, I cannot read anything to help you.  Can you post a larger screenshot or upload it to a hosted site like GoogleDocs, or Picasa?

Strange; I see them fine and they even blow up when I click them.

 

both images are on picasa:

Yes

I think that might be what is causing the problem, you might have to log a Case with SFDC Support.

I was able to workaround this by changing the formula type from checkbox (boolean) to Text and using "Yes" or "No" values in my IF statement. Not the best workaround but it solved what I needed. Fields referenced are not roll up summaries
