Not a serious problem - just consider objects which can't be described in less than a million bits after a million timesteps instead.
If a problem is so serious that you have to change your prior, then I'd call that a serious problem.
Did you understand why the problem is not serious? Your comment was nit-picking the example. Other similar examples make exactly the same point - but are not vulnerable to such nit-picking.
