This seems to be a bug in am-utils:

https://bugzilla.am-utils.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612

and while we try very hard to not break existing binaries that assume some
old broken kernel behaviour, things like system setup code that is
outright buggy is kind of exempt from that rule. So I think in this case
it really is a user-level issue.

I wouldn't call this a regression. It's a hard-to-trigger warning that is
being debugged.
