I don't see where that warning could be coming from.  Line 387 of
Vegetate.inc reads:

 object{VegeList[VEGENUM[VEGEcounter]] transform VEGETrans[VEGEcounter] }

As you can see, I don't add a bounding box to the object.  The only thing I
can think of is that one of the objects in your list has an unneeded
bounding box, but in that case, the error message should be pointing to
where the object is declared.

The long time spent building bounding slabs is much easier to explain.  You
specified that Vegetate place 500 objects randomly selected from your list,
and presumably one or more of "rock", "flower", and "TREE" is a union of a
large number of primitives.  A hundred or more of that union will result in
a very large number of objects for POV-Ray to generate a bounding tree for.
