The warnings are because the Log replay creates bogus
transactions.  It's a known bug.  All you can do in 1.8
is fix your data file XML by hand (search the lists for
previous discussions on this topic).

GnuCash 1.9 has this fixed.  The Check & Repair function
will correct your data file, and the Log Replay function
wont create bogus transactions anymore.
