This is the only way to guarantee that the right folks will look at it. <http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/> That's just a minor concern, however, with the larger question about what causes these errors and how to fix the problem as there doesn't appear to be any documentation about this (or hotfiles in general). We're currently working on documentation for the on-disk representation of hotfiles. I recently reviewed a late draft so I hope to see a public version soon. Running fsck on one test system seems to take care of the problem (raising questions about what it changes on an otherwise clean, journaled filesystem) but that may also be coincidence. It does seem like it would be useful to remove a hotfile entry the first time an error is encountered to avoid continually spewing kernel messages. I have no idea what's causing this. It'd be interesting to know what the error number is. You probably should file a bug about the ongoing error spewage.
