ld vs. dkctl in netbsd-8

I just noticed this message in the console after a reboot:

   raid2: get cache for component /dev/dk1 failed

which is a bit troubling, considering I didn't get a similar message for 
dk0, which is the other half of that raid1 pair (on raidframe).

These drives are on separate (slightly different) twa controllers, using 
the ld driver. I recently updated this driver due to MP_SAFE crashes by 
applying the patch in this PR (the latest patch)...

   http://gnats.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=53628

Here's an excerpt from the dmesg. Is this cache discrepancy a potential 
performance hit or should I be otherwise concerned?

Any thoughts or help would be great.
