Have the same issue with Angular 1.5 and Angular Material 1.0.5 and the latest md-data-table.

Eventually the app recovers and everything works as expected, but obviously that's not ideal.

Commenting out
scope.$watch(cells, updateCells);
Almost solves the problem. It suppresses the errors, the header is still fixed and it eliminates some annoying jumping around of column sizes.
This introduces 2 new issues: 1. The column headers are not over the columns and 2. There's some blank space between the column headers and the first row.

Obviously the solution is to call updateCells at a later juncture or perhaps to debounce it. I'm looking into these options.

Update: replacing scope.$watch(cells, updateCells);
with simply updateCells();
works in my application.

That didn't work for me for some reason, so I went this route. It's not pretty:

function updateCells() {
                if(processing) {
                    return false;
                }

                processing = true;

                $timeout(() => {
                    let cells = {
                        clone: getCells(header.clone),
                        original: getCells(header.original)
                    };

                    cells.clone.forEach(function (clone, index) {
                        if (clone.data('isClone')) {
                            return;
                        }

                        // prevent duplicating watch listeners
                        clone.data('isClone', true);

                        let cell = cells.original[index];
                        let style = $window.getComputedStyle(cell[0]);

                        let getWidth = function () {
                            return style.width;
                        };

                        let setWidth = function () {
                            marginTop(height());
                            clone.css({minWidth: style.width, maxWidth: style.width});
                        };

                        let listener = scope.$watch(getWidth, setWidth);

                        $window.addEventListener('resize', setWidth);

                        clone.on('$destroy', function () {
                            listener();
                            $window.removeEventListener('resize', setWidth);
                        });

                        cell.on('$destroy', function () {
                            clone.remove();
                        });
                    });

                    processing = false;
                }, 500);
            }
