Error message "Warning: SUID file... will not be repaired"

I just repaired permissions because something unexpected happened. This was one of the messages in the window:
"Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/OwnerGroupTool" has been modified and will not be repaired."
Can someone tell me if this is something to be alarmed about? And need it be fixed?
(Last night I installed the briefly available AirportExtreme Upgrade that was pulled. On necessary restart I saw a dialogue about changing some boot files)

..."Apple has said that these specific messages, listed in the KB article I reference, are not a cause for concern."...
Yes, understood. "Specific messages" being the key. Mentioning "specific", I think, shows that you understand the issue.
However, your response to the OP was:
..."It's a normal status message and nothing to worry about."...
It was only the extension of the "specific" to the general that I prompted me to clarify by responding in the first place. Of course, the message isn't "normal". Being able to safely ignore it is a special case, which is why it is listed specifically in the article. Note the difference to the "ACL" messages (i.e. "Any message that starts with: 'ACL found but not expected on...'". It does not say "Any message that starts with: "Warning: SUID file...". The document only applies to the specific listed files (plus a few more I believe would be included if the article had been updated in a more timely manner).
In the future when responding to similar questions, please keep the distinction in mind because it is important. While there are things Apple should do to improve the situation, the reason I am addressing it here instead of through "feedback" is because of the way some participants of this site are conveying the message. As long as people aren't being given the impression that a warning that a SUID file has been modified is never a cause for concern, I won't object.
