If you add '-e' to the sysctl command, does that stop the error?  So
it would look like this:

===================================================================
# procps - set sysctls from /etc/sysctl.conf
#
# This task sets kernel sysctl variables from /etc/sysctl.conf and
# /etc/sysctl.d

description     "set sysctls from /etc/sysctl.conf"

start on virtual-filesystems

task
script
    cat /etc/sysctl.d/*.conf /etc/sysctl.conf | sysctl -e -p -
end script
===================================================================
