Throttle Safety Value Warning

I am getting the following warning messages below loading models for a certain amount of times then it stops. I get this with my transmitter or emulator for the Devo 7e, 8, 10, 12.
When I first loaded my models into my Devo 10 I got the warning messages for every model I loaded Blade or Walkera for a certain amount of times then the message stopped (I do have the sticks calibrated).
I have been getting this in all the emulators also, warning messages for a certain amount of times loading models then it stops, or no waring messages loading the models many times then get the warning, or sometimes no warning at all no matter how many times I load the models.
Have any of you experienced this?
Is this a bug in the firmware?
Here is my safety setting for all of my models, Blade and Walkera
[safety]
Auto=min
Here are the warning messages.
Ch3 is 0%, safe value = -100%
Ch3 is 100%, safe value = -100%

I've just tried, it produces such symptoms in the emulator too...

I have been loading and checking the models I made to post and I have been checking to make sure all the switch icons were correct and sometimes I must have had it in FMOD 1. That explains why I got the message sometimes and not other times. Then I left the FMOD switch in FMOD 0 and that is why the messages stopped.
This must be what is happening with the emulators also. I have the flight mode switch on sometimes by mistake (with the hot key on the keyboard) and when I load another model I am getting the message. When the flight mode switch is off I don't get the message.

I want to add this to the Model config manual, explaining the settings available in the modelx.ini files.
Could you please add a description to each of these ini file settings and their respective options/values.

The min and max were needed, because the scale values modify them, so they are not necessarily equal to -100 or +100...
The problem with the zero checking is that the stick is not precisely centered, especially if it is not springloaded...

Note that the [safety] section only has fixed allowed values:
none, min, zero, max
you cannot use numerical values here
the 'auto' channel is a special case for the throttle as FDR said.

I checked the deviationTx repository to try and submit a pull request, but the manuals don't seem to be in there. Maybe that can be fixed as well?
Do not ask me questions via PM. Ask in the forums, where I'll answer if I can.

EDIT: Sigh. The manual repository is pretty clearly auto-generated from something else. So no pull request. Could someone with access to the sources these were generated from add this info?
