@morvencao right, that issue was fixed in master, but not fixed in time for 0.5.0, so you will see that error if using 0.5.0. At this time the only thing I can recommend related to Helm is using master as several bugs and inconsistencies with the main manifests have been resolved (including the bug you see).
AFAIK helm works in master correctly.
@cfontes are you using Helm from Istio 0.5.0? That is known to be non-functional. 0.5.1 may have enough of the fixes to get things going, however, if you have a desire to use the Helm charts, I’d recommend master for the time-being.
I am also having the same error on latest Minikube and HELM with latest ISTIO
