You don't get a warning, but an error message, since Espresso would produce incorrect results. We need at least two cells per spatial dimension to make the minimum image convention unambiguous. minimum_num_cells however counts per core, so if you have 2 cores, you just need 4, and for 4 cores 2.
No, first of all you cannot set minimum_num_cells to a lower value, since ESPResSo wants to avoid computing incorrect results. As a consequence, there is a limit to the cutoff depending on the box size. You simply cannot use r_cut 3.3 in a box smaller than 6.7. Either, you put more particles to increase the box size, or you don't insist on your parameters, but rather let P3M tune them.
