Thanks to those who replied. I think that Dr. Blinn sums it up best:
"It's due to an AdvFS "sanity check" that's failing. There is nothing
useful
that you can do to suppress the message or fix the situation that leads
to
it. So you should just ignore it. Nothing bad will happen as a result.
I believe that there will be a patch at some point to suppress it, and I
also think it may be fixed in a later release."
