We've had this with an odd combination of normal maps and mix nodes. As Alan says it's just a warning and doesn't seem to affect our renders.

TIFFs support storing arbitrary metadata. (In fact, TIFF stands for just that... Tagged Image File Format.) Some programs store custom "tags" or other things in the format, and I guess the renderer just doesn't know what to do with this particular bit of data, but because the image itself is intact, it continues anyway. Like the message says, it's just a warning. No harm done.
