I happened to notice it while reviewing other code, I'm not aware that it's ever created a visible issue, and it's on a pretty immediate error path.  If anyone thinks it should be a stable candidate I have no objection but in that case would suggest to break the patch up to separate the new WARN from the fix.

Nothing has ever been reported and is probably very unlikely to be 
reported; so, I agree it should not be a stable/fixes candidate.
