No action necessary; we should be able to create repro scenarios that will help us provide more info in the warning message (and resolve the ticket that I mentioned). If you happen to know (or are able to identify) which resource in your system is triggering the warning (because of a String that contains a non-UTF-8 byte sequence), it would be interesting to see what your resource looked like. Otherwise, since the odds are high that the warning should be harmless, just let us know if you notice any other unusual behavior or problems that you suspect might be related to this.
Thanks again for the feedback!
