In my limited experience, yes, that is a bad thing.

My advice is, don't mount a drive if you get that error.  I got
it because I used FIPS to change my partition size.  The other night
I stayed up till 5am repartitioning and reinstalling Win95(twice...how
I hate them) and FreeBSD.

I mounted a FS and got that message, later, while doing a 'find',
ALL of my filesystem's got hosed. 

This is under FreeBSD 2.1.0, by the way.
