The only other executable in SYS$SYSROOT: that references LM$MSG is 
MSGHLP$MAIN, and the contents within LM$MSG look bogus.

Looks broken.

Probably broken as distributed, but will have to confirm that on 
another V8.4-2L2 box.

Any brokenness is for VSI to decide, though.

Pending a missive from the Burlingtonites, re-code your loop to skip 
the file, or to otherwise suppress the error.
