According to the author (see the upstream bug report), this is not a bug: "Palimpsest [is] more picky than smartctl is - e.g. just a single bad sector will trigger this warning. [Your] disk has bad sectors and that's exactly why we report it as failing. It's supposed to work this way. If this was my disk, I'd back up the data and move it to a more healthy disk."
