This is a warning that is generated from somewhere in the depths of gdb.
It is generated when, for some unknown reason, gdb cannot restore the
target state after an inferior function call. I seldom see them when I am
not doing inferior function calls or forcing a function return. I would
not expect to see this message simply from printing the value of a
variable (unless the variable is in an inferior function call).

I usually just ignore them (but I haven't seen one in ages). YMMV.
You can also ask on the gdb list: maybe they have a better answer.
