The default node type for simplenews content is "simplenews", however, drupal allows to change every nodetype name.
This corrects that error. I don't know if you can have more than one type with the "simplenews" property, I assumed that you have just one.
If you could have more than one newsletter nodetype, then the solution should be including a selector box.
For now, this solves the problem. (inject_node function , line 417)

    $types = variable_get('simplenews_content_types', array('simplenews'));
    $node->type = array_pop($types);
