It happens when you restore WCM (publishing) sites to another location. The Page Layout source URL is not updated to reflect the new location.
There are several painful options I tried before finally coming across this solution:

There’s also a standalone executable and source code available here (the script often requires tweaking and recompiling to work, so having the source is a terrific help):
One or the other usually provides the fix required.
UPDATE
if you're still having problems, there are a few things to watch for.
- Firstly, checkout-out pages (and quite possibly drafts) will not be affected by these commands, so make sure you approve and check in all pages first.
- If you're still getting the mysterious 'Unknown User' error on some pages chances are that the person who originally created your master/layout pages (or even site template!) no longer exists in the current site/collection. In this case you will have to temporarily add that user back, run the command again, and hopefully all will be good.
Good luck and please add a comment if you've found anything else or are still having problems.
