I've noticed the same behavior and it surprised us - we weren't expecting a restart to also reset the warnings. It's a bit annoying when you're trying to fix a problem that requires restarting the server because it can allow users to access the system (before you replace the warning) while you're in the middle of troubleshooting. But I have a new wrinkle on that issue.
We noticed that the warning message sometimes showed up and other times it didn't. It appeared to be random until I noticed that if the URL contained "/xmlui" (our default) that the warning showed up but without it you got no warning message. In our webapps directory I'd created a simple link from ROOT (the default for Tomcat) to xmlui with dspace.url set to <sitename>/xmlui. Removing the ROOT link breaks simple "https://<sitename>/". So I removed "/xmlui" from dspace.url and restarted. The behavior was the same. Even more annoying is that if I am logged in and switch from a "/xmlui" page to one without "/xmlui" the system seems to log me out! Again, completely unexpected. Has anyone else seen these behaviors? I'll keep looking for a cause and a cure.
