I should have read the warning more closely: 
The offending detail was commas in the value attribute. 

Some questions spring to mind: Why are considered bad in this context? If 
commas in the netlist are not allowed and cannot be escaped, why not just 
replace them silently with an underscore? Is there any case when I need 
to be warned about the replacement?

Suggestion: If the warning should remain, the wording should be more 
explicit. Maybe along the lines: 

Warning: commas in component value have been replaced by underscores.
