The warnings are harmless I think.

The error message is due to processing of PKG_ADD. 
I (and/or Nitzan who came up with it) have to think up a better mechanism
for adding the Java class libs (.jar files) to the javaclasspath (which is
the job that chk_spreadsheet_support() is supposed to do).

I have never encountered that error myself on any system I've installed
Octave on, so I have no cure for it if this error can't be solved by
deinstalling earlier io versions and/or wiping the io installation dirs in
.../share/octave/packages/ and .../lib/octave/packages/ *and* a "pkg
rebuild" afterwards.

Except - if you can manage- wiping the PKG_ADD file out of the
io-<version>.tar.gz before installing, but I'd consider that a last resort.
