This exception is being thrown by a remote node[see bellow]. This is caused by ctx.isInTxScope() being called even for remote nodes - this should not happen. This only happens when an exception is thrown:
catch (Throwable t) {
if (ctx.isInTxScope()) {
TxInvocationContext txContext = (TxInvocationContext) ctx;
if (txContext.isValidRunningTx())

}
throw t;
}
The condition needs to be changed to: ctx.isInTxScope() and ctx.isOriginLocal()
