When a talk page is deleted (or moved without creating a redirect) while you're writing a reply on it, you get the following error message: "Could not find latest revision for title" (apierror-visualeditor-latestnotfound).

Rather than try to invent a completely new error message that would explain this very rare situation, I suggest that we simply use the existing message that appears when the individual comment you're replying to is deleted: "Could not find the comment you're replying to on the page. It might have been deleted or moved to another page. Please reload the page and try again." (discussiontools-error-comment-disappeared).
