Journal mode logcat entry when opening database

Each time I open a database in my app either on a real device or avd I see the following LogCat entry:

E/SQLiteLog﹕ (5) statement aborts at 2: [PRAGMA journal_mode=PERSIST]

These are Lollipop devices and I understand that PERSIST has been used since API 16, but it looks as if something is not quite right.

The database works perfectly (as far as I can tell) after the open.
