I think the error message is unhelpful. 'dmesg' could easily detect that it wasn't running as root and say something more meaningful.
That requires a change to the dmesg program. The cause of the error is a change in the kernel that dmesg doesn't handle.
Exactly, so given that the kernel has changed, a future version of 'dmesg' should reflect that by giving a useful error message.
