Well, they are a concern because they do break migration. But it may be
indeed good enough to just have a WARN ("bad things may happen and you
get to keep both pieces") and not disable future migration.
A BUG must always be avoided unless you're sure that something *worse*
will happen in the future, e.g. a BUG is acceptable if you have detected
a use-after-free or a dangling pointer. This is not the case.
