Indeed, I reproduce the reported error message if I use
\include "english.ly" but then use the -is/-es notation for sharp/flat.

If Simon writes,

g4 \times 2/3 { gs gs gs } r2

he should get the correct output.  Alternatively, just delete the line
\include "english.ly".  Your call. :-)

Contra to Mark's comment it's not to do with the tuplet although I agree
it's good to include rhythmic values _within_ the tuplet just as a
safeguard.
