I changed line 24 from:

<?php
if (is_a($entity, 'FieldRSIPreventor')) {
?>

<?php
if ($entity instanceof FieldRSIPreventor) {
?>

and the error message went away.

Here is a patch, implementing #2.

Just a note:
System Requirements of Drupal 7

PHP: 5.2.5 or higher (5.3 recommended)

Changelog of the "is_a()" function:

PHP 5.3.0 This function is no longer deprecated, and will therefore no longer throw E_STRICT warnings.
PHP 5.0.0 This function became deprecated in favour of the instanceof operator. Calling this function will result in an E_STRICT warning.
