Apparently the print panel was a red herring. I also get the same log when I just move the window. Somehow I never got this before, at least this is the first time I notice it. The print sheet just happened to move the window because the print sheet was too big. I can reproduce this in about the simplest case, just add a child window to a window and move the window. Now this log is pretty annoying.

If anyone wants to see it, I just created an app from the standard simple app template, adding the following to the app delegate implementation (and an NSWindow ivar named overlay):

- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification {
    NSRect rect = [window contentRectForFrameRect:[window frame]];
    overlay = [[NSWindow alloc] initWithContentRect:rect styleMask:NSBorderlessWindowMask backing:NSBackingStoreBuffered defer:YES];
    [overlay setAlphaValue:0.5];
    [overlay setBackgroundColor:[NSColor redColor]];
    [overlay orderFront:nil];
    [window addChildWindow:overlay ordered:NSWindowAbove];
}
