Well, that's new and fairly dumb. It's a numerical index for each breadcrumb item, e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. something that can very easily be inferred simply by how many elements of that type there are in a list.
It literally wants us to output this:
Seems silly, but I guess we'll have to do it...

Strange, xf1 uses older breadcrumb type (also not schema.org) and not seeing any errors.

I am seeing the same. Its a bit difficult to find the issue as I am not exactly sure where in the old webmaster tools or the new search console I encountered the mention of breadcrumb numbers. Plus I submitted a bunch of issues to Google for review, some of which are no longer listed in the search console. So it can also have resolved itself.
