Well, in your case they are apparently "estwarnings" because you didn't
put a space at the end of log_line_prefix ;-), but really they are just
warnings. In the long run, you will want to switch to doing what the
hint, er, esthint says, after which setting standard_conforming_strings
to on becomes OK. Moodle will need to do the same first as well.
