This is a case where I think we would be better off with
g_strdup_printf():

 * the buffer declaration is a long way away from its use
 * the string is long and it's not trivial to confirm that
   it will fit in the buffer
 * it's quite plausible somebody will come along later to
   clean up the wording of the error message and not notice
   they need to enlarge the buffer
 * it's only for printing a warning, so it's not going to
   be in a hot codepath
