They never fixed themselves? Did the reported times ever increase?
If not I think that's just a reporting bug which is fixed in an
unreleased branch, but I'd have to check the tracker to be sure.

If it permanently seized up then this is not what happened; if the
reporting just didn't go away then I'm not sure it's appropriate to
log every time a throttle gets hit (some of them are supposed to or at
least expected to be, since they keep the journal from running away
from the backing store).
