I see this error all over the place in my logs, as an error box in my admin interface, etc.

drush pm-info syslog

Since this is a core module bug, I filed a bug @ core, https://drupal.org/node/2188797 a few weeks ago, and tried to ask about it in #irc -- no response in either place.

Is this issue occurring on a new install and no contributed modules added? if not; what I'd do is check a new test install. If the issue isn't present, I'd take a move the prod site to a test site and disable contrib modules to see if there is some more clues.

The above advice is suggested based on researching the error with google and finding it reporting in multiple contrib module issue queues.
