Yeah, not really agreeing here that this is a recoverable error. 
Besides, we only consider under-run here, what about over-run?

Currently this warning doesn't hit and if the code will be changed and 
it hits, I still find a BUG_ON more appealing here ...

So this error scenario can happen over and over again and we always 
recover from ? The important thing is that we find the culprit for this 
behaviour as fast as possible ...

Warning or bug, at least a stack trace is necessary.
