ProjectWebModule.getDocumentBase shows message box when doc base folder does not exist. Similarly behave couple of other methods - just search for usage of showErrorMessage in the class. This class implements WebModuleImplementation and it is highly inappropriate to show any message box from the implementation. These methods are "service" methods which can be called any time and as a result if doc base is broken the message box keeps pop up as a result of IDE actions like mouse hovering etc. The problem is that just removing message box we do not have any way how to warn user that project configuration needs to be amended. Ideally this should be done as part of broken references handling. On the other hand if you follow suggestion in message box and just fix the problem everything will be OK.
