This message is produced when the Cleaned flux starts to go down in a
serious way (in Ipol images).  It is looking only in that facet in
this mode of IMAGR and so is a fussy matter when the facet may only
contain very weak sources.  I do not know what your noise level is
but you may be digging into the noise now and may get some of this.
It really is not something to worry about unless IMAGR gets stuck on
that facet and cannot escape.  If it keeps going then the wonder of
the Cotton-Schwab clean is that it subtracts whatever it finds iin CCs
from the UV and then images again and deals with that.  The comment in
the code is:

C                                       Attempt fix major and minor
C                                       Cycle differences
