Christian,

The change was made almost a month ago:
http://cgit.openembedded.net/cgit.cgi?url=openembedded/commit/&id=d38f1dd24dd6ed94408aa49aad33e46634a129ff
http://cgit.openembedded.net/cgit.cgi?url=openembedded/commit/&id=9d7586e655755f51be3f09f3da48147b0937c3e1

I haven't heard of anyone having any issues creating images since then.

Now, judging from the error message, I'd guess you have IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE 
variable undefined. Normally it is set to a default value by conf/bitbake.conf,
unless it was specifically set in one of the image recipes and/or your
local.conf...
