I don't know which version you are using, but judging from the message it appears that there is an interpreter bug.
There is a table in the interpreter that contains pointers to the functions that implement the gcodes. The actual gcode number is multiplied by 10 to determine the index in the table. So, G5.2 goes in the 52nd slot and G5.3 goes in the 53rd slot. You can imagine how 5.3 and 53 might get confused with each other by a simple off by a factor of ten bug. That's just a (somewhat) educated guess about the problem.
