I know some people disagreed with it (ie Ingo), but I think that's total and utter bullshit. It's a warning. Right now that "BUG:" message makes people all scared about something that is not fatal at all, just a note that something hasn't been converted, but is expected to work absolutely fine. Calling it a bug is idiotic.
