Hmm, I'm not a native english speaker, but I have the feeling that
it would be more grammatically correct to use "opened" instead of "open".

Of course if the message never triggers, it's less of concern :-)

English is my native language, but that might not help. :)

I would say "the device has not been opened", but "it is not open". More generally, to me "opened" denotes past tense, and "open" is used in the present.

Even with the other bug, the message never triggered as I did not have debugging enabled. Given the relative rarity of PPC-based boxes running Linux, the message may never print.

Thanks for the comment.
