dhcpleaseed message in cloud environment

Hi,

I have an OpenBSD 7.4 VM on Vultr and I sometimes notice the following
from dhcpleased in syslogd:

Feb 22 21:50:51 server dhcpleased[83222]: parse_dhcp: message from
<mac_address> too short

Although the message is referred to as being "too short", dhcpleased
successfully acquires an IP for the VM and all is good.

With everything being virtual for my VM, why would there be truncation
in the DHCP message ? Secondly, is this something I should be concerned
about ?

Thanks,

- J
