It's from the C code in plot3d.c.  It happens if

1) x or y is of length 0.
2) any element of x or y is not finite (infinite or NA or NaN)
3) the x or y values are not strictly increasing.

My guess is that you have 2, but debug image.default and print x and y
just prior to the .Internal call to find out.
