yes, I think your warning is better, it clearly says what's
going on.

Perhaps you should not only warn the user, but also fall back to
\hldriver at nolinks.  (Of course this means you may not free the memory
occupied by \hldriver at nolinks, but it doesn't matter.)

And than it would be important that with \pdfoutput=0 you'd also fall
back to nolinks.

Just a quick idea,
