Yes I know they are harmless but they should still be fixed. In support forums we keep getting users packing over the warnings that appear in the boot of the 10.04 live cd, this would just add to that.
If there is nothing to take notice of or unexpected, the program shouldn't spew out errors and warnings as it just confuses the user.
