Seems reasonable to worry. Was that everything in the console.log line, or was there more information which could give a clue where it came from, either on that line or in nearby lines? What was in other log files at the same time as the console.log message timestamp?
You can run LS in a basic mode, set so that almost everything requires your review and approval, and hope to see what might be related to that message when (if) it appears again. Also be running the OSX Console application, which will let you see that message, and quickly then try a "ps -auxww", or "ps -aCux" and then search on the command names which show up, to see what's running. If you think you have a biary executable file which might be the problem, try the "strings <filename>" command to see if the console.log message text shows in the executable. The lsof command command might give useful info, too. While you're using ps, lsof, or strings, or console.log, copy/paste the output to file(s) so you can study it in less haste, and have it saved in case of some kind of crash.
