Prelim: If this is the root site, ensure that scripting capabilities are enabled via this link

  1. Ensure that the Document Set Site Collection feature is enabled.
  2. Upload the CustomNewDocSet.aspx file that creates a new Document Set to any document library (SitePages/SiteAssets might be a good location)
  3. Create a new Document Library
  4. Curse at the new Document Library UI
  5. Add the Document Set Content Type to the Document Library
  6. Add a "Comments" field to the Document Library that holds the identity value from the people picker
  7. In SPD (for speed, not for distance) set the newdocset page to the uploaded file location, with a querystring param named 'List' to override SP's List= querystring handling. ><
  8. Go back to the document library, click "New" ... "Document Set" and get brought to the custom newdocumentset page.

Got the same issue, fixed it by removing the second index ( [1] ) in line 215:

currentListId = searchUri.query(true)["List"];

Everything works now.

I've got the same issue and fixed it adding in SPD link to newdocset page with queryparam List="" e.g.
/sites/mySite/SiteAssets/CustomNewDocSet.aspx?List="".

Also, important is to leave the second index ([1]) in line 215:
currentListId = searchUri.query(true)["List"][1];.

Then everything will work fine.
