Do you have an example of such a message on startup? In general, it's not just invalid bytecode that's a problem, but also other things like macros that have changed definitions (so the old .elc doesn't quite work right). But that's hard to detect. There should perhaps be a command to recompile all installed packages? Or does that exist somewhere?
