I disagree. In this way you can miss a really important error message so 
it's better to ignore the warning in question.

Concerning something's being misconfigured, the comment in find's source 
code says "This is likely to be a bug in the filesystem driver (e.g. 
Linux's /proc filesystem) or may just be a fact that the OS doesn't 
really handle hard links with Unix semantics" so the failure while 
finding in /proc is a known (at least, to find's authors :) ) issue 
and, consequently, you can safely ignore it.
