Never heard of that message.

Might be the same problem with some DMA buffer ...

It's optional, so it isn't really needed.  I'm using it for control
input transfers because those aren't latency sensitive, and using less
polling might help with the latency problem on the data input endpoint.

In theory, Jack should never open any MIDI port that isn't actually used.
