You may have removed the interesting part, or maybe not.  Did you
change something in "..." and if so: why ?

I guess "::" is produced by an empty variable, like so: "N:${var1}:${var2}"
If ${var1} is empty, collecting it failed.  The front end should try again,
or it should substitute "U" (unknown).

If this error doesn't happen very often then yes, you will be missing some
information and this won't really show.  The update fails, the next update
will fill the gap (if allowed by heartbeat) and although it seems that no
data was lost, you will have lost some resolution at the very least.
