To resolve the error, layers with the same name need to be renamed in *.pcbdoc:
• Signal/Plane layers: Design » Layer Stack Manager..., and locate the duplicate layer along Name column, and double-click on the corresponding cell to rename
• Mechanical layers: View » Panels » View Configuration to open the panel, locate the layers with the same name, right-click and select Edit Layer to rename
