ok, i think one can just remove the message with relatively little
harm.

The thing is, such multicast packets might be useful for the upper
layers of the protocol stack, but the firewall does not have enough
granularity to tell "do not forward this packet but still pass them
up". With unicast there is not such a problem (a packet goes only
to one place).

The warning was there just to remind [me] what was going on.
