I have just tried simple script:

// SCRIPT
  box{-1 1 interior{media{ }} hollow off}
// END

with additional Warning_Level=10 in CommandBox to be sure nothing is missed

all warnings outputed in message window are:

  Warning: No pigment type given.
  Scene contains 1 frame level objects; 0 infinite.
  Warning: Camera is inside a non-hollow object. Fog and participating media
  may not work as expected.

Moving box about z*10 to not contain camera removed second Warning.
I have also tried this with default media from Insert Menu and still no
message about media in non hollow object.
