Probably not an error; I can think of at least two situations where
this might happen:

- showing the beat subdivision in a compound time signature such as 5/4;
- where there's a regular or semi-regular variation in time signature
throughout a piece, i.e., perhaps alternating between 2/4 and 3/4 in
successive bars.

Have a look at the snippet `Compound time signatures' in the Rhythms
section of the Snippets List
(http://kainhofer.com/~lilypond/input/lsr/lilypond-snippets/Rhythms.html#Rhythms).
