Something is outputting a PHP warning on the page. Thats a pretty moronic Mod_security rule which would be better served with the production server running with appropriate PHP error_reporting value.

If you're running WP_DEBUG on that server, you'll need to disable it in order to view any pages which emit PHP Warnings.

Can you check your Logs to see if a PHP Warning is being logged? It might help pinpoint if it a WordPress generated warning, or the result of a plugin. (Actually, Disable plugins & switch to the default theme, see if that lets you view the page)
