This is a Fennec UI bug, not a Firefox UI bug. The Fennec UI should check for Weave.Status.sync == Weave.VERSION_OUT_OF_DATE.

We do check for that in a "weave:service:sync:error":
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mobile-browser/source/chrome/content/sync.js#418

Is there a different topic we should use?

flagging for blocking.  error messages are incorrect and unhelpful to how the user can fix the problem.

If this still happens in Fennec 4 Beta 3 (or a nightly), let's fix.
