This bug report consists of two issues:
- GUI part to fix
- fluid mixing part to fix (ref 73890)

@Dominik: upgrade of steam engine into steam turbine is also sufficient to trigger fluid mixing between steam and other fluid

-- edit:
Same issue may be triggered when using assembler with inputs (like "fill sulfuric acid barrel"). Little different error message:

Yes, the gui crashes when the fluids are already in a broken state. That is known.
