:I don't know what caused them, but I can speculate that they
:appeared when I read the manpage for mkdir(1). I did that
:just after creating/moving/deleting/recreating/redeleting
:several files and (sub)directories in an effort to bugger
:the vfs layer ;o)

:I've tried to recreate them this morning, but so far no go.

You can ignore these messages. These tend to occur when you
rename directories. Until the rename VFS API is fixed the namecache
has to be sliced and diced, and then relinked when another forward
path runs through the new directory.
