Known linux kernel bug: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/4/68.

The net effect is a few packets get dropped in some rare cases, and the kernel shouts about it on the kernel log a bit. It's mostly harmless, as long as it doesn't happen too frequently.

Thanks!

I have swappiness set to 10 (my system almost always runs with no swap taking place); do you think that raising it closer to the default 60 would be a good idea?

No. Why swap out things like apache when the server is idle? All you achieve is a delay when the app is next required. I've run my Linode (which, like yours, almost never swaps) at swappiness = 0 for several years.
