[ensembl-dev] Warning when registry is loaded

[Kieron Taylor]

Hi Sebastien,

Apologies for this log noise. The warning should be harmless. Our 
collected efforts to make the Ensembl API portable across database 
providers will have a few minor unintended consequences. We've tested 
the changes, but such warnings easily go unnoticed. We'll tidy this up 
when we can.
