I would guess that these come from message loops somewhere in your
patch. With loop I mean some directly connected sends and receives
feeding each other like this:

 [r LOOP]
 |
 | [something(
 |/
 [s LOOP]

Now you would of course never patch something like this directly, but it
may be that hidden sends inside of GUI objects are used like this.

You can also easily create a loop with [sssad] if you do the
cross-connection to the first inlet of the [sssad] object. It has to go
to the *second* inlet to avoid loops. So maybe check all your [sssad]
objects if they are connected correctly.

"Find -> Last Error" can give valuable information sometimes. It is able
to detect the source of the loop I painted above.

No, that's fine in general - I also do it for related settings. Again
you have to be careful with loops here - maybe making a [pack 0 0 0] "all
hot" with some [t b a] objects is triggering an endless loop here.
