The change in v1.28 fixed a similar warning where you'd get something like

/etc/rc.d/dhclient: WARNING: $background_dhclient_bge0 is not set properly

(where bge0 is an interface name).  1.28 fixed the warning for me, but I don't 
use background_dhclient and have none of the variables set.  Maybe Andrey is 
seeing a warning in the non-default case when a variable is set?
