These are harmless. MetaCard is just trying to set the keyboard focus
to a window before the window manager has finished managing it. How
often you see these errors is mostly a function of how heavily loaded
your machines and/or network are. Fixing these race conditions is on
the to-do list, but hasn't been given a very high priority since
they're harmless.
But thanks for the report!
