fake module isnt an error message,
see: space_userpref.py
---
        # fake module importing
        def fake_module(mod_name, mod_path, speedy=True):
            if bpy.app.debug:
                print("fake_module", mod_name, mod_path)

Could you report this in the bug tracker and include the addon?
