I have seen this warning/error in a number of log files, now it appears in my on installation with WEIDU on these tp2 lines

APPEND
~gtimes.ids~ ~1800 SANROM_TIMER~
ADD_PROJECTILE ~SandrahNPC/Kit/CVMysAn.pro~

WEIDU installs without error (just this mysterious [*.IDS] forgotten) on the respective lines.

Checking the IDS files with NI shows the correct entries. Both the timer and the projectile work in the game.
Do I need to worry at all about the issue?

The ".ids forgotten" message is actually a positive one - another way of saying the same thing would be

"hey, I have the original .ids values here, and am going to keep those entries in memory. But wait... you just added something... hold on a sec... you may want those new values available for something later on in this install session. Hmmmm. OK, I am dumping the old version, and substituting the new version in memory, so that I understand the new stuff as well as the old stuff."

But if your log had messages like that, you would have a 4.5MB weidu.log

Thank you for that response. Good to know.
The WEIDU message text is a bit misleading but like I said, it all works well.

Well, from a programmers point of view it's not... as the old .ids file is actually forgotten to use the new one...
