western digital WD1500ADFD: spurious completions during NCQ

Several threads that suggest this message is related to poor NCQ
support, but I did not see any for this drive.  It's a Western Digital
WD1500ADFD-00NLR1.  Is this the same thing, and should this drive be
blacklisted?

I've attached hdparm -I output.
