I'm seeing this on a widening number of systems, mostly newer Intel systems.

The idea that these are "routine" just doesn't make sense to me. Either this warning is firing for a valid reason or it isn't. If it isn't then the question remains -- why is it firing? Is it because of buggy FW or is something actually wrong with the hardware?
