The second example differs from the first example. It does not have a
partial measure. 

The first example is generated without error if the "s" is replaced with a
pitch or a "r."

\version "2.16.1"

 \score {
     \new Staff {
       \partial 8
       \relative c' { c8^\markup x }
     } % Staff
 } % score

The first example generates without error after placing a pitch before the
spacer.

\version "2.16.1"

 \score {
     \new Staff {
       \partial 8
       \relative c' { c16 s^\markup x }
     } % Staff
 } % score

My conclusion is that the error is caused by the spacer being the only
object in the partial measure.

Gee, I've attached markup to spacer rests lots of times in the past.

Exploring your hypothesis, if the warning message were reasonable, why would
this second example not warrant a similar indication?

\version "2.16.1"

\score {
  \new Staff
    \relative c' { s1^\markup x }
} % score
