It is a bug <http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=245>

LilyPond generates internally a start-bracket-event and stop-bracket-event 
for each tuplet.  When the rhythms are identical, \partcombine combines them 
into one voice, so they go to the same Tuplet_engraver.  That Tuplet_engraver 
combines the start-events silently into one, which is correct because we only 
want one bracket printed, but warns when it combines the end events.

If there are only a few, in version 2.16 and later you can
  #(ly:expect-warning "No tuplet to end")
  #(ly:expect-warning "No tuplet to end")
to suppress each message, one-by-one,

I think this warning can be dropped, because it is annoying and does not 
protect us from any mistakes.
