This will probably not be too helpful, but I can at least tell you that
I get the same error message whenever udev is updated, but I do not have
any problem with udev during boot. (I am using a custom 2.6.15 kernel
compiled from the newest Debian sources on a Sid machine and udev
0.084-3.)

Did you try to activate bootlogd? Maybe that will give you a chance to
read the error message in detail.
