I just experienced this when setting up a new site and concluded that it is not 
really an error. The default Cake set up has:
a generic stylesheet (/app/webroot/css/cake.generic.css)
a default layout (/cake/libs/view/layouts) that calls the generic stylesheet
a default home page (/cake/libs/view/pages/home.ctp)

The generic home page has an element with an id of 'url-rewriting-warning'. 
This is hidden by default by a class in the generic stylesheet if:
you are using the default layout, home page and style sheet
and mod rewrite is working

If mod rewrite is not working, the style sheet will not load and therefore the 
element will not be hidden, and voila you see the error or if you remove the 
generic style sheet (as the style sheet is not loading the element will not be 
hidden).

These defaults are not really intended for production. They are just there to 
make sure your basic environment is correct.
