I keep getting "setParent: Object 'commonTabColumn' not found." errors on VRay start

I did a search and found that back in 2011 this was an issue. I'm seeing it now again. This is the full message I'm getting:

// Error: file: /Applications/Autodesk/maya2016.5/Maya.app/Contents/scripts/others/createMayaSoftwareCommonGlobalsTab.mel line 36: setParent: Object 'commonTabColumn' not found. //
# Error: line 1: MelError: file /Applications/Autodesk/maya2016.5/Maya.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pymel/core/language.py line 992: Error during execution of MEL script: file: /Applications/Autodesk/maya2016.5/Maya.app/Contents/scripts/others/createMayaSoftwareCommonGlobalsTab.mel line 36: setParent: Object 'commonTabColumn' not found.
Calling Procedure: updateMayaSoftwareImageFormatControl, in file "/Applications/Autodesk/maya2016.5/Maya.app/Contents/scripts/others/createMayaSoftwareCommonGlobalsTab.mel"
updateMayaSoftwareImageFormatControl() #

If I click on another tab and then back on the common tab it's there so I'm guessing it is not a fatal error but I was curious if it may have anything to do with how I've installed python on my Mac. Again this is more an FYI to the developers as it is not fatal but curious none the least. A few other things to note. I am only seeing this on Maya 2016.5, not on Maya 2016 or Maya 2015 and it occurs in both macOS and Windows 10. My Maya install on both is Maya 2016.5 Ext2 SP1 which is the latest.

It's a known issue that has proven really hard to fix. It mostly occurs if your default renderer is Maya Software, but also happens (although more rarely) when it's set to VRay by default. In any case, it doesn't stop VRay from working.
