This is fixed in mcpp-2.7.2-2, which will be hitting the mirrors soon.

This is a separate issue, but note that it is just a warning; the 
resource settings are still loaded and work as before.  IIUC, the 
"correct" way to fix this would be to change string("\n~^Z") to 
string("\n~")string(0x1a), but I haven't tested this.
