As far as I remember, I got the same sort of internal video failure
messages when I tried booting v1.3 on my Macintosh Classic II from System
7.0.1.

According to the machine status docs, I thought that those messages could
suggest that ClassicII's internal video was not supported yet.

My Classic II had no FPU either, but I guess those video failure messages
have nothing to do with the lack of FPU. Yes?

I'd like to know, me too, what exactly the messages mean.
