I think some clarity would be needed in order to place some weight and accuracy on the comment.
By the phrase "oddball" I simply meant that there's nothing that stands out; no obvious smoking gun as it were. With the possible exception of the avionics bay smoke perhaps... but as other have pointed out there are multiple possible causes for that message.
The significance (to me) is nothing more than 1. there
are ACARS messages and 2. the messages don't contain anything catastrophic. I'm not reading anything more into it than that.
