That indicates the file is likely corrupted or not a dicom file.

This issue has been recently [fixed in the Slicer Preview Release](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/commit/aa245559e6027c8bf568ff96365dff9aed5be773). If using the Data module as a workaround is not acceptable for you then you can switch to a recent Slicer Preview Release.
