I don't think so. We really want old arrays to work smoothly on new kernels. To avoid a repartition of the original problem we would need not just a message, but an option not to assemble the array and that would be awkward for people normally upgrading their system. So I don't think there is a solution for this problem that does not introduce other problems. It does not affect x86 architectures, and is only a problem if you move to a new kernel, then back to an old kernel. So hopefully it will be very rare. Sorry.
