Were the existing bone stacks being used for other jobs? Was the craftsdwarf's shop placed in a burrow? Was the craftsdwarf assigned to a burrow?

I have a save with this sort of thing in evidence, though the failure is "Needs improvable item." The shop is surrounded by bones and beds, chairs and doors. The error is intermittent, though at the times when it occurs, it doesn't seem to stop occurring for a while.

Given the difference of error message, should I submit it as a new ticket, or just tack it on here?

ChickenLips -- an item can only get decorated once with a given material. It's possible that all of your items were already decorated with donkey bone or whatever. If that doesn't explain it, open a new ticket and we'll continue the discussion there.

Anyway, yeah, I didn't get any answer from the reporter, so we'll assume it's 0000867.
