splunk 5.0.5 may solve this problem:

Search head pooling: Build event type page shows error: "Unable to get
sample events: local variable 'f' referenced before assignment".

Same "problem" here, however I can not see that it affects the creation of the eventtype.
The only thing that might be logged in regards, but i dont think so, to the error showing up is the following;

splunkd.log

I'm getting the same error when in a custom app, not the search app. Any answers out there?
