We have a local patch to turn the error into a warning, patched
against 3.2.0 - we needed this because we have customers who can use
host -> hostgroup -> N related services mappings but we do not control
their configs, we only define the global service sets - so we could
not have this be fatal and fail everyone's changes just because one
customer stopped using the mapping.

We have been using this patch in production for a year without issues.

To apply:
1) Put patch in top level source directory
2) patch -p0 < name-of-patch
