i have found that its a bug found at function newsletter_taxonomy_vocabulary_insert in newsletter.module.

While creating the "field instance" they are using different "field_name" values in field_create_field and field_create_instance.

If developers will set the same values for both functions (only for field_name) ...then it will work absolutely fine. :)

how to fix:
- location sites/all/modules/contrib/newsletter/newsletter.module
- search and commend 'field_name' => 'field_' . $field_name,
- replace 'field_name' => 'field_' . $vocabulary->machine_name,
I fix it manual by sublimetext bc I work in windows.
I read in patch no5 newsletter-field-exception-taxonomy-creation-2340511-5.patch
more info:

thank you
