unfortunately its a different wallet. I hardly used them myself so just a FUBAR ordeal ..

Okay, so I assume that the Multibit wallet backup is corrupted then, because you wont get that error in Electrum with any other private keys aside from the four mentioned above.

nope its a different key .. but indeed the same error ..

How about 5Km2kuu7vtFDPpxywn4u3NLpbr5jKpTB3jsuDU2KYEqetwr388P or L5oLkpV3aqBjhki6LmvChTCV6odsp4SXM6FfU2Gppt5kFqRzExJJ?
Those will produce the same public keys as the private keys I listed above, and also the same error.

I haven't used MultiBit but I've heard that they've got a bug regarding generating keys outside range. (if not, it's from a different wallet)

Are you perhaps importing the private key:
5HpHagT65TZzG1PH3CSu63k8DbpvD8s5ip4nEB3kEsreAbuatmU or KwDiBf89QgGbjEhKnhXJuH7LrciVrZi3qYjgd9M7rFU73Nd2Mcv1?
Because it's the uncompressed and compressed WIF format of the invalid ECDSA private key 0x00.

I got the same error when I tried to import it to Electrum:
