Apparently the possible defect questioned-of in the quoted message was addressed by the HIPer APAR MA39127 per:
http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/201003/msg01026.html

So as I had alluded, that the OS informed of possible damage and separately that an IPL was required to recover from the error, is IMO probably preferable to the system having allowed the unexpected failure to compound a problematic encounter by enabling a new SWA request against the object that was already "logically damaged". That is, logically, the object which is already active to an SWA can not be saved by a different [no longer active] SWA.

Oh, if your save abends during a save while active you can
forget saving that library active until after the next IPL.
"changes" are recorded off to the side and it gets really
confused when the save abends like that. Claims the objects
being processed during the save 'may' be damaged but they're
really not. The IPL clears them up.


Presumably "abends" means an "abnormal end" from the perspective
of the OS [code] itself <<SNIP>>

<<SNIP>> if the message about "object may be damaged" due to an internal OS sfw error having led to the SWA failure was issued,
then the message is probably accurate, such that the IPL activity
does not necessarily always just clear them up; i.e. YMMV.? The
system storage management will have started tracking changed
pages to the objects [IIRC, by redirecting the save activity to a
backup copy of the pre-changed segment], so if the abnormal end
itself or something between then and the IPL might also mess up
that tracking [maybe only loss of main memory\storage], then the
object or its data may not survive well.? I would have to think
too hard to remember how things worked to understand the if\how a
scenario might end with damaged object(s).
