Well, if you want to support "anyone" ACL then you should care.
Otherwise not really, other than being annoyed at those errors in logs.
You could solve it by creating such a path that maps to an SQL table.
I've been too lazy to add docs how to do it.. Probably something like:

map {
  pattern = shared/shared-boxes/anyone/$from
  table = anyone_shares
  value_field = dummy

  fields {
    from_user = $from
  }
}

I guess another possibility would be to make it possible to ignore some
patterns to just hide this error and not waste time doing a SELECT for
something that never exists.
