Error While Moving Files / File Was Missing / XMP Files (that do not exist)

Interesting annoyance.

I get an error message when moving photos (within LrC) about missing XMP files. This despite having no XMP files to move.

Here is the File Explorer screen capture of before the move:

As you can see, no XMP files (as I want it)

Here is the error message:

I just press on Ok, and it moves on, results as , in folder I moved photos to:expected

Note that I do not have the option to automatically write changes into XMP turned on:
