It's related to face splitting in an indirect matter, yes. In fact, face splitting happens during the creation of the bsp-tree...
What really happens when this error occurs, is that a leaf is concave, so it can see into one of his own portals. Read this article to find out more about the vis-process, it's the best article on it I've seen so far:
