For Sage, I would certainly add "wrong parent" to this.

Python also uses TypeError to indicate a function which is called with the wrong number of arguments or bad keyword arguments:

>>> str(foo=1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'foo' is an invalid keyword argument for this function
