The reason for the warning could be that the user has overlooked that he has started a second emacs session with (server-start) in the init file, say one session from home and one from work. Also, the warning could give some hints on where to search for further information for dealing with this issue. If the warning is displayed in a separate buffer that pops up (and not in the message area), it seems to me that it could give a few more details for the nonexperts.
