Citing the documentation:

retainedVariance – Percentage of variance that PCA should retain.[...]

--> the variable should be between 0 and 1, which also states the assertion-failure you got --> use 0.901.

yes I contributed this code and this is correct

Thanks.I looked at the code. CV_Assert( retainedVariance > 0 && retainedVariance <= 1 );
