The message is printed by OpenAFS in 
src/afs/DARWIN/osi_vm.c:osi_VM_TryReclaim()
What it means is that an operation I was using to try and get ubc to stop 
using stopped having an effect. As to whether or not it's harmless.... The 
condition the message is warning about in of itself is harmless; however, 
it's possible that your system will eventually run out of vcache entries 
and panic. I will have to look at the apple kernel code to see what they 
changed and what I might be able to do to work around it.
