I believe this has been fixed in the 1.4 cycle as the issue doesn't seem to occur for me in local tests.

Can you attach the tmp/log/cooker/ logfile showing the warning please. We need more information about the timing of it.

Comment 5 Richard Purdie 2013-04-18 14:27:48 UTC 
The reproducer is "bitbake perf -c populate_lic -f" on an empty build, its a missing dependency.
