Because the font discovery code picks up slight different names for the
same font. Times New Roman Medium is Times New Roman Regular. There are
notes about this in the readme file. 

Roughly how the font names change:

Medium 	becomes Regular
Medium  becomes Roman *depends on the font
Italic  becomes Oblique *depends on the font
Almost all the Ghostscript fonts will have URW before their name.

To me the new behavior will be a pain until all your old docs are
converted, but the naming is more correct IMO.

This is a just a warning.
