There is a bug report for that somewhere, against the intel driver...
um... here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27220

I haven't seen this myself though (who knows why not).

I actually see this in dmesg as well, but it doesn't seem to cause any
ill effect here (and the Intel driver feels very quick to me...).

You must be right.  I never even thought of that but it's completely
consistent with my own experience.

I don't even like grub2 very much!  I wonder what it's up to.
