Thank you for sharing the project file. I was able to reproduce the problem, both with your project and by replicating the conditions of the bug from scratch.
This is a bug which has existed in the Mesh Warp effect for a long time. At this time we do not plan to fix it, because the conditions of the bug are uncommon and easy to work around. But we will leave this bug in “Under Review” state to allow people to continue to vote on it. If this problem is more common that we assume, we can raise the priority and fix this in a future update.
The problem is a combination of a high-resolution layer and moving the mesh warp points a great distance outside of the bounds of the layer.
In this case, your layer is greater than 8000×5000 pixels, though scaled down to 10%, and one of the mesh points extends quite some distance beyond the layer. Bringing that mesh point in, or using a smaller layer, will avoid the problem.
The composition resolution does have a factor in the problem; when set to Half or lower, the render resolution of the layer changes, which avoids the problem. But at Full resolution, or rendering via the render queue at full resolution, the bad condition is encountered.

Still experiencing this issue. Glad I quickly arrived at this page to define the problem.
Fixed after precomping the layers and resizing them.
If its not planned to be fixed maybe update the error name/details to mention Meshwarp.
thx
