It's looking for metadata on the page. So either the page has bad or no metadata or it's specified wrong. Looks like for whatever reason there's CSS specified in the meta description. The below are the nodes it's looking for.

//meta[@name="og:description"]/@content
//meta[@name="twitter:description"]/@content
//meta[@name="description"]/@content

The metadata is junk on the URL you linked basically. It's either being set wrong or the HTML on the page is broken causing its DOM structure to be invalid and resulting in CSS "leaking" into the meta tag. Either way you can edit your status message and change the description manually if the site doesn't parse very well. Eventually you'll be able to do this before submitting the new status message, but that won't be until 4.0.0.
