According to the bug report it refers:

  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765410

there was already an issue since Gtk+ 3.20 at least. The warning was
added recently to signal that this was the fault of the application,
which did something wrong.

IMHO, a warning in this case is bad. This is just debugging
information, which annoys the end user. If the goal was to make
the cause of the problem visible enough to that the user could
report a bug, then fine, but there should be an *easy* way to
silence this warning (e.g. once the bug has been reported),
without other side effects.
