Unfortunately searching for an error number with a - in front doesn't
work well as most search engines see the - and explicitly ignore all
pages with the 1517 on it.

I've noticed this problem several times when I've added a foreign key
to a table in the backend which was inserted into the middle of a
table. Everything would work fine for days or weeks until the backend
was compacted. Then the FE would puke with the -1517 error you
mentioned whenever that particular table was accessed. But deleting
the link and recreating the link made it work again.
