Somewhere in httpd.conf, or an Include'd .conf file or .htaccess file
you have something that looks like:
ErrorDocument 404 /error.html
This is certainly not in the default configs, so it must have been
something added locally.

How right you are. 
I did 
grep -r ErrorDocument *
from /etc/apache2/
and found a whole bunch of vestigal entries from copying over the vhosts files from the previous server. oops

Thanks Joshua :)
