I can see them too.

I believe it's all due to this method:

  (defmethod mark-operation-done :after ((o load-bundle-op) (c system))
    (mark-operation-done (find-operation o 'load-op) c)))

Said method should probably somehow hush these specific warnings,
or first recurse into all dependencies and mark them done, or be removed.
You decide.

While it's indeed a cosmetic bug to issue the warning,
I believe the underlying logic is sound.

We have every right to fight ideas we think are stupid.
Toleration is about respecting other people's persons.
We have every duty to respect even persons we think are stupid.
