we have this one:

interface all {
     level 1;
}


ae2 is actually a LACP channel containing 2x 10GE to a customer. 
Generally yes there might be a potential loop behind. The curious part 
is however that this message mostly appears on commits and not 
necessarily also without a commit. This is not limited to our EX4550 VC 
but can also be seen on some EX3300 ToR switches. Typically all with 
storm-control level 1-5 configured.

Yes, that happens every once in a while. Although I cannot guarantee 
this is not loop-caused, the impact to our network caused by loops is 
was typically clearly visible by disappearing ARP entries on the routers 
and/or jumping MACs (at least until we set storm-control low enough 
which is even < 1% so we use the bandwidth option here).


Best,
Jeff
