I suspect that warning is for developers, not users. It would be nice if those kind of errors were only produced if debug package was installed - or if started with a switch asking for it. The message may not even be part of xpdf but from a library xpdf uses (perhaps uses incorrectly or in a deprecated way that will break in future - hence a warning)
