My concern is that having the SM installed during part of VM initialization could lead to different behaviour compared to installing the SM after that. This may be a small risk but it is a risk, and not something we are likely to observe in our own testing.

If there is no way to hide those warning messages (@SuppressWarnings in the code?) then we have a serious flaw in our warning system. As you say these warnings are for the developer not the end user!
