ACK. BTW, the warning can be reproduced with
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[russian]{babel}
\usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}
\usepackage{ae}
\begin{document}
Блъгракситкес
\end{document}
I don't see any issues with the resulting PDF file, though.

ACK. It would make more sense to copy t2acmr.fd into the local texmf
path as t2aaer.fd and change all the references to cmr to aer. In the
end one should get the same result sans the warning, though.

Catching up ... Given Latin Modern, ae is obsolete from my point of
view. Actually the above example uses Latin Modern fonts in the end.
