[SOLVED] Acpid prints an error on tty when switching from X

Question

First of I am using Openrc and eudev. I set up acpi and noticed that it prints error (posted below) to tty. It also shows the error when I press ctrl+alt+F10 even though tty number 10 is not spawned. Everything seems to work, it is just anoyin gand gets in a way. The same error is not shown in terminal emulator running X.
The exact error:
acpid: client 1302[0:100] has disconnected.
I just noticed it prints this error every time I switch from X to tty. And it prints the error to that tty. So if I swithc 5 time to tty2 and 3 times to tty5, I'd see the mesage 5 times on tty2 and 3 times on tty3.
EDIT:

EDIT2:
Workaround (far from ideal solution):
X recognizes the powerbutton as XF86Poweroff, sosetting a bindkey for poweroff workswhile I'm in X. Could this way of doing things be more violent on shutdown compared to acpid's way of doing it? Are the same scripts run at shutdown in bot cases (those that show in openrc's shutdown run level)?

Hi bstaletic,
If I understand correctly, you are having some acpi errors (or do you mean acpid)..
Here are the packages my side:
$ pacman -Qs acpi
local/acpi 1.7-1
Client for battery, power, and thermal readings
local/acpid 2.0.23-2
A daemon for delivering ACPI power management events with netlink support
local/acpid-openrc 20141107-1 (openrc openrc-desktop)
OpenRC acpid init script
I dont think I am having errors..
$ dmesg | grep acpi
(gives no output)
I use a display manager (lxdm) to start X.
Edit-
$ rc-status
