It's because "cc-cmds.el:1626:4:Warning:" matches
ffap-ftp-sans-slash-regexp in ffap-file-at-point. One can customize
ffap-ftp-regexp to nil to prevent such matches being checked for.
Maybe this is the best solution.

Other possible solutions:

1. Before the ftp regexp is checked, ffap-file-at-point checks for
   existence of a file in default-directory. It could look elsewhere
   as well. Ie:

*** ffap.el 10 Jan 2007 15:48:04 -0800 1.61
--- ffap.el 06 Apr 2007 01:29:39 -0700

           ((and (not abs) (string-match ":[0-9]" name)

           ;; Try stripping off prominent (non-root - #) shell prompts
            ;; if the ffap-shell-prompt-regexp is non-nil.

           ((and (not abs) (string-match ":[0-9]" name)
!                (let ((sub (substring name 0 (match-beginning 0))))
!                  (or (ffap-file-exists-string sub)
!                      (ffap-locate-file sub)))))
           ;; Try stripping off prominent (non-root - #) shell prompts
            ;; if the ffap-shell-prompt-regexp is non-nil.
           ((and ffap-shell-prompt-regexp


2. Can a URL ever contain something like ":1626:4:"? If not, could
  prevent such things from matching the ftp test:

***************

--- 1172,1178 ----
        (and
             ffap-ftp-sans-slash-regexp
                  (string-match ffap-ftp-sans-slash-regexp name)
+              (not (string-match ":[0-9]+:[0-9]+:" name))
                    (ffap-file-remote-p (concat "/" name)))))
                     ;; Ok, not remote, try the existence test even if it is 
absolute:
       ((and abs (ffap-file-exists-string name)))
