Error message on 'CoreProfile' component, version 'X'

I upgraded to 10.8.1 today.
After issuing command Purge in the Terminal, I get following message:

[ERROR]

<CPPathUtils.c:526>

The device-file for this operating system, 'osx-12.1.0.xml', was not found. An attempt to revert to a previous revision of the OS device-file: 'osx-12.0.0.xml' has been made. Please file a Radar report with Apple, on the 'CoreProfile' component, version 'X'.

Since I'm not a registered developer, I cannot file a formal Bug Report. But here it is.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion, OS X 10.8.1

Set a password, run the command, and then remove your password.
