Any chance that it would be possible to stop the periodic attempts to sync

- I did think of that too - but the syncing may fail(temporarily) if the
prefs object could not retrieve the lock to the
associated prefs file. We could stop syncing attempts if the sync fails
say n number of times - but I do not think
that is a good solution.
We may however be able to stop the syncing attempts if we are
guaranteed by some error code that any future
writing attempts will fail. I'll check on that.

The log spamming is a symptom, not the cause.
Could the prefs code be enhanced to better determine if writing is possible
before attempting and failing?

Hi,
Please review this change to fix 718655. The bug complaints about continuous
BackingStoreExceptions
printed on the console, the user is just seeing logged warnings from
BackingStoreExceptions raised in periodic attempts to sync preferences.
Preferences use sun.util.logging.PlatformLogger.java which is enabled by
default, and has a default level of INFO. Changing the logging in this file to
FINE prevents the user from seeing information that he/she is not interested in.

Looks good and L116 emits a INFO log message that should be changed to FINE too.
