Seems, that lfd tries to delete some rule, that do not exists.
Cleaned out /etc/csf/csf.tempban and /etc/csf/csf.tempip and started successfully.
Can this caused by switching from non-testing to the testing mode?

Can lfd ignore such bad rules command and start anyway?

Yes, it's from being in TESTING mode. When TESTING is disabled it's more tolerant of iptables command failures. I'll make a development note to relax the tolerance of such failures whether in TESTING mode or not for the next release.
