This is fixed in After Effects 17.0.1, released last night. You may need to open the project, close it without saving, then reopen it and save to clear the errors. Please update and let us know if you’re still seeing any issues.

Hi Eugene,
This is John from the After Effects team. This is a known bug with the new Dropdown Menu Controls, which are pseudo effects, when they've been added to the EGP and used as Master Properties on a pre-comp. The team has identified the underlining issue and is working toward a fix.
There are currently two possible workarounds:
Option A: When you experience the error on project open, close without saving and re-open the project.
Option B: Make sure the pre-comps which contain the original Dropdown Menu or pseudo effects are first in the Project panel when sorted alphanumerically. The easiest way is to add them to a folder called "_Pre-Comps" where the leading underscore ensures they are sorted first.Option B would probably be difficult with an existing complex project, so Option A probably makes more sense in this case.
Cheers,
- John
