I don't think the behavior is any different under
Windows and Wine+Linux, that's why I felt the warning
is useless.  I just observed that Windows' netstat.exe
prints port numbers (try 'wine -- netstat.exe -a') if
the service isn't found, so it expects to deal with
failure.  MSDN documents the return value as NULL if
the service isn't found, and this matches
getservbyport(3).

Ahh, I think I see your point:  the Wine+Linux variant
uses /etc/services, while Windows uses a file of the
same format, but in a different location
(system\services for Win9x, typically
system32\drivers\etc\services for WinNT+).  Is that
right?

In that case, I'm not sure what the correct behavior
should be.  On one hand, it doesn't match Windows'
behavior 100% when using a real Windows install.  On
the other hand, it'll match native (Linux) programs'
behavior on the same machine.

Because a user (non-developer) can't take any action
to correct this, I think the output is unnecessary. 
Point taken that at least a TRACE may be useful,
though, since it's of use to developers.

Or this there another reason I'm missing?
