Surely this is related to a particular keyboard? I had quite a bit of trouble with HP keyboard in the past. A Compaq keyboard, IIRC, was the one which caused QUIRK_NOGET to be added in the first place.
I'm going to close this. Please file a bug against a current release if this is still a problem. It's possible that the RHEL 4 prints those messages too, although it's hard to be sure without trying. As a side note, I was wrong to associage fetching of string descriptors with the NOGET quirk, which governs fetching of HID reports.
