Spurious "strange" results from xfsdump

I back up a number of XFS filesystems running on RHEL7 machines.  The
amanda client there is 3.3.7p1, though it's easy enough to update it if
necessary.

Occasionally one of the dumps will marked as "strange" which of course
makes the main report have an alarming "STRANGE" result.  But what's
being marked as strange is really more of an annoying thing spit out by
xfsdump, and I'd like to ignore it.

A complete set of client output is below, but the problematic line is:

Mon Feb  6 00:08:08 2017: thd-0x7f283deaa200: sendbackup:  87: strange(?): xfsdump: WARNING: failed to get bulkstat information for inode 67154413

As far as I can gather, this is just something that xfsdump will spit
out from time to time and doesn't indicate a problem.

Does it suffice to just add this before the AM_STRANGE_RE lines?  (I can
of course just do this but it's not easy to reproduce so I figured I'd
just ask up front.)

AM_NORMAL_RE("^xfsdump: WARNING: failed to get bulkstat information"),

Would this be something that would be considered acceptable to upstream?

Below is the sendbackup log in case you want to see the whole thing.
