This looks like those messages may be related to this:
http://drupal.org/node/99625

You probably have your PHP set to spit out messages about any little thing, 
and Drupal 5 has lots of little things. Drupal 6 should not produce those 
sorts of messages. It may be that 5.4 has those warning messages turned on, 
where 5.3 and before did not.

It's just a guess.
