Sorry, I was a bit asleep when I got this error but thought I'd post what I could!
When I looked at my machine this morning it was sporting a windows message box telling me that I should restart the seti application process as it had errored and been shutdown. I ok'd the message before copying down any details (sorry!) and opened BoincMgr to find that wu 286075 had errored at 1 second. I don't know if it is important so I thought I'd post here so that someone can check if they think it warrants it.
It may have been my machine, but this is the first work unit it has ever errored on (that I can recall at least!)

It's possible the error on wu 286025 which was handled quietly by BOINC had the same cause. Both are very similar to the symptoms shown by many multi-CPU systems, see the Builds for unexplained error test thread. Having that happen on a single CPU system is quite unusual, though I came across a PIII system doing it some time ago.
Two errors out of 44 results isn't horrible, particularly when they each cost only a few seconds of CPU time. If your long average turnaround time is due to a low resource share for this project, you could boost it for awhile to see if that sort of ratio continues. That would be a good contribution to the ongoing Beta test. OTOH, the errors may have been unrelated to anything we've seen before.

Should have mentioned that the computer connected to the net is not the one doing the work (in this case anyway) it was actually a pentium extreme - or whatever tehy call the these days!
not really fussed about the time/redit - just thought I'd highlight it in case it was important.
