That's a bug introduced in MIT krb5 1.9.  I'm fixing it now and marking
it for pullup to 1.9 and 1.10.

This is controllable with the kdc_warn_expire option in the [kdc]
section of your KCS's krb5.conf (if I read the Heimdal code correctly),
but if you were to turn it off, you'd just run into the aforementioned bug.

Unfortunately, I think your options for shutting them up aren't great:

  (1) Avoid the use of principal expiry times
  (2) Patch your KDC not to send principal expiry times in AS replies
  (3) Deploy the MIT krb5 fix to your client systems

I can send a patch for (2) or (3) if you decide to go that route.  (3)
should happen by itself eventually as the fix makes its way through the
pipeline, of course.
