I have now found one thanks to a quick Python script I whipped up:

This property should not exist on item_healthkit and item_ammopack entities, and since "force_respawntime_override_timer15" is longer than 32 characters, it creates our error.

You can fix this by clicking the SmartEdit button, then clicking on these properties and clicking "Delete".

This is the usual cause:

However, I looked extensively through the VMF and cannot find a property where this is happening.

Having an entity NAME be more than 32 characters won't cause a problem, because that's the value of the property, which can be up to 1024.
You'll only experience this problem if you:
  • Download a dodgy FGD
  • Turn SmartEdit off and add custom properties to your entities for whatever reason
  • Paste the entire Bible into some property on one of your entities just for fun
