フォームのサイズは実行環境に依存すると思いますので、具体的な値を上げてはいかがでしょうか。
Sizeプロパティの数値とか、Designer.csの一部切り出しとか。

Problem Description:
Setting “Panel2MinSize” property in “SplitContainer” causes an error at runtime.My environment is VS2008 SP1 Japanese edition, and Windows XP SP3.
In Design view, place a “SplitContainer” on the form and set the “Panel2MinSize” property, and then an error occurs.
I think the cause may be that I set the “Panel2MinSize” property before the “Size” property.

Repro Steps
1. Place a SplitContainer on the form.
2. Set the “Panel2MinSize” to the half size of the form.
3. Set the width of the form to quarter.
4. Debug.

For example, set the form size to 640, 480, and place a SplitContainer on it.
Then set the Panel2MinSize property of the SplitContainer to 200.
//
// splitContainer1
//
this.splitContainer1.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill;
this.splitContainer1.FixedPanel = System.Windows.Forms.FixedPanel.Panel1;
this.splitContainer1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 24);
this.splitContainer1.Name = "splitContainer1";
//
// splitContainer1.Panel1
//
this.splitContainer1.Panel1.Controls.Add(this.treeView1);
//
// splitContainer1.Panel2
//
this.splitContainer1.Panel2.Controls.Add(this.listView1);
this.splitContainer1.Panel2MinSize = 200;
this.splitContainer1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(392, 242);
this.splitContainer1.TabIndex = 1;
The above code is generated in the file
Then debug, and an exception occurs at
this.splitContainer1.Panel2MinSize = 200;

Actual Results：
An exception “SplitterDistance must be between Panel1MinSize and Width Panel2MinSize.” occurs in the place of “Panel2MinSize” property setting.

Expected Results：
No exception occurs, and the form is displayed.
