The message comes from sys/msdosfs/msdosfs_conv.c:dos2unixtime().
Sounds like the dos time passed to the function was wrong.
I guess a workaround would be to unmount the dos partitions.
For a real fix I don't know. Could you gives more details about the
dos partitions mounted (what king of OS created it, output of fdisk, etc).

Maybe you could report this problem with send-pr, including as much
informations as you can ?
