The problem isn't new, it's just that now we report about it. We had a
problem with a save format that would corrupt the event name for dive
mode changes. We actually have a fix in place so that we restore the
event names, but the warning will happen every time you load a dive
that has that old sign of corruption.

So it's benign, and we probably should make the warning much less
noticeable (just put it in the logs as a debug message).

Don't worry about it, and you should probably just ignore it (at least
as long as it says 'name' or 'description' - the first is about a
divemode event, the second is a similar error we had wrt cylinder
descriptions).

The error is very prominent because there was some worry that we had
other issues going on, but I think we sorted it all out and we should
just de-emphasize it.

I'll send Dirk a pull request to just remove the warning.
