the problem is your PIC programmer. I would bet on a JDM type. This message appear often on those because of few things
1. too low Vpp/MCLR voltage during programming
2. poor timing
things are getting worst if you have a USB-2-Serial converter.
If at all possible, consider to purchase a real PIC programmer such as Melabs EPIC or Microchip PICKit2. PICKit 2 ~35 USD$ and USB. Works a treat.
How do you program your PIC right now? in a ZIFF socket or In-Circuit?

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
