I think this problem is caused by Emacs not able to associate multiple
processes to a single output buffer (in this case "*Async Shell
Command*"). To get rid of this message, I wrote Runner.el[1] which also
provides a better "open with" functionality for dired (although you will
need to use the '!' key instead of '&').
