It needs to be defined, no doubt. Wait a second... From l3messages:

% \begin{macro}{\text_put_sp:}
% \begin{macro}{\text_put_four_sp:}
%    We need these functions for certain error and warning messages
%    right away. They put one and four spaces into the message stream.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def_new:Npn \text_put_sp: {~}
\def_new:Npn \text_put_four_sp: {\text_put_sp: \text_put_sp:
                                 \text_put_sp: \text_put_sp: }
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \end{macro}
