Larry, this is what I found in the ft1000mp code:

 * Right now, this FT-1000MP implementation is a big mess.
 * This is actually a fast copy past (from ft920.c),
 * just to make get_freq/set_freq and co to work for a friend of mine.

The best thing to do at this point is ask around on the hamlib-developer 
mailing list, see:

Nate (N0NB) might be able to help you out. He has done some work on 
other yaesu rigs.

This is nothing to worry about, just some debug info.

Doesn't look good. They are errors which indicate something is wrong.

At this point, I am out of possibilities. Sorry I can't help you out...
