You configured a pid_file which MPD was unable to write; maybe because
it failed file permissions, or maybe because the containing directory
does not exist.

This is a configuration error which triggers the crash bug.  If this
crash bug wouldn't exist, MPD still wouldn't be able to start due to
that misconfiguration, but at least it would log a helpful error
message.
