This is a feature, not a bug. :)

We actually saw this on our own repository several months ago, and
have since fixed the log messages to be compliant. I suspect we'll
see this type of complaint a lot on user@ once 1.6 is released. I
don't recall what the official stance is on this, but we'd probably
ought to mention it on the Release Notes.
