As can be seen in the log, the problem is in the METS scale setter. The code line, referred to in the stack trace, calls a function on a Shower() object, which is null (I guess) when showering is turned off.

Changing the scale setter (e.g. SCALES = QCD) avoids the problem.

Resolution: → fixed

This bug has been fixed on trunk r18021. Note, however, that the default scale choice in Sherpa depends on the parton shower, see 'METS' in ​http://projects.hepforge.org/sherpa/doc/SHERPA-MC-1.3.0.html#SCALES. Version 1.4.0, when used with the above setup, will therefore still abort the integration.
