The error message sort of gave that impression, yes...

I've seen that when a VFS based database is open and the device fatal
exceptions.  But the result has always been a visible database
duplication (up to now).  One copy would open and the other wouldn't and
could be deleted.

Not the case here.

I was merely fishing for some thoughts from developers as to where to
look from there insight into the code, since this was the first I'd seen
the issue, and I have about 40 databases, so opening all was a bit
tedious.

But that's in fact what I ended up doing.
First Deleting DBDatabases, lost categorization as expected, but also
didn't remove the error on launch.  So I restored it from SD Backup.
I launched each database in turn, and especially checked each database
with links to other databases via Edit Database Design, and with a new
test record to insure the links were all valid.  I got to the end without
discovering any issues.  All databases and links opened fine.

Yet that resolved the issue somehow.  There's no longer the error message
on Pilot-db launch.

Bandaid on the symptom, but failed to glean knowledge as to the source.
