Should stories with all tasks estimated display a warning?

As a Rational Team Concert administrator I want to understand why I see a warning that a story has no time estimate so that I can explain the answer in an FAQ.

Tasks contain estimates in hours. Stories contain estimates in story points. Rational Team Concert should treat stories differently and not show the message "The work item is planned but has no estimate specified." Or should it? Is this a defect?

I've seen cases where this message appears in the margin, and cases where it doesn't. What's common to both is that all child tasks of the stories have time estimates in hours, and the stories have estimates in story points.
