Actually, Matt Cutts has updated the G+ entry (same as the link in the OP).

First off, we changed the messages themselves that we'll send out to make it clear that for a specific incident "we are taking very targeted action on the unnatural links instead of your site as a whole." The second change is that these messages won't show the yellow caution sign in our webmaster console are much more targeted and don't always require action by the site owner. [plus.google.com...]

Do you think these changes will be applied retrospectively? Otherwise, the webmasters that were sent the message on Friday, won't be any better off - they still don't know whether this is just a warning or a prelude to a penalty.
