This is a recoverable error that happens a lot, opening a bug to track it.

Please close this bug if it's not something that you plan on fixing.

There's not much we can do here as we're given the AppID from the application calling us. I'm going to mark it as wishlist as we could do more validation of the AppID, but I really don't think we should *have* to, it should be the caller's responsibility.

Ted, that's one of the most reported issues on e.u.c for utopic, maybe we should turn that off if we don't plan to work on it? that would save bandwith for users and noise
