I usually try to avoid alarming/annoying users with error messages, on
the other hand I agree that w/o some pressure, these will never be

On the yet another hand, if the regcache have means to fix this, it
might be put into use as well.
A dev_warn at max to get attention or info level perhaps and fixing it up?
