I had these same messages come up in 2.1.105(and ac1, ac2, ac3) every time I would logout. I even spent a night looking into it, and had a full up bug report, until I moved up to 2.1.106 and they disappeared.
My theory was that it had something to do with dynamically allocated vt's; since I run only one getty, login to that, and 'open' everything else I need from there. I figured that dynamically allocating fd's for dynamically allocated vt's was confusing some poor line of code somewhere :)
Junichi, are you using 'open' or any other dynamic vt utils? (stabbing wildly in the dark with this one..)
