Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better.  As I understand the problem, this is correct behavior from
"at", though perhaps the problem is that the error reports aren't being
delivered to you. (Is local email delivery configured?)  Check /var/mail
for at errors.

Issues:
 1) at runs like cron, it does not have your Xorg environment and cannot launch 
X applications without additional scripting, etc
 2) running /bin/sh /usr/games/glchess won't work (and isn't what at does), 
since you're forcing it to interpret the script as a shell script (it's not).  
when at runs, it uses sh for spawning shells (and will correctly execute 
scripts of any type), the warning is there to remind about the reduced 
environment and capabilities
