How did you encounter this warning? How can one reproduce?

This appears on all wikidata item pages: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q45554042

This is similar to T186174. VE is attempting to register itself because wgIsArticle is true, but then stops because the page doesn't have the correct UI components for article editing.

The first question would be are wikidata sure they want wgIsArticle to be true on item pages?

I suppose this is correct, usually the main/content namespace is "wgIsArticle" (I dont know of any wiki site for which it is false in the main NS).
Possibly this warning can be shown also based on a check with wgVisualEditorConfig.namespaces?

Deskana set the point value for this task to 1.

The text of this error is obviously incorrect, but given that the visual editor is not meant to work on Wikidata, this is not high priority.

Esanders claimed this task.

This was fixed in T314952, which was a duplicate of this task.
