Hey community manager. I am not sure why this question is assumed answered. I just posted it so it has not been answered. Can you wave your magic wand and mark it as unanswered?

this error doesn't come from validation rule but rather from custom validation (that's the one you can configure in control's setting dialog).

if you hover mouse over 'val.clientvalidationfunction' code on highlighted line you should see content you put into validation function input box. you must have to put something there that breaks javascript syntax.

When I look at that variable I get "isNullOrEmpty({Control:59be5a02-0b14-43e2-8bbc-dd19e68bccc3})" That looks like the validation rule I put on the textbox.... isNullOrEmpty({self}), but I don't see the error. Am I missing something?

it might as well be that you miss or have one extra coma, bracket, apostrophe etc. somewhere, that breaks code structure/syntax and error is simply reported on another place.

other possible reason is that you have some of such characters in validated data, and if you did not correctly escaped them or enclosed them into apostrophes and/or {TestStart}/{TextEnd} tags, they cause problems.

it's hard to investigate, you will have to go through all formulas and custom code to proofcheck syntax is correct and they are not sensitive to special characters in data

The issue was with one custom validator I didn't even realize was on the form. I deleted and recreated all controls on the form to make sure they were clean and thus stumbled on one I didn't realize was there. Once cleaned all worked as expected.
