First, are you sure the console messages are "new"? You should clear
the console window contents between updates so that you're not
confused by previous messages from the same FM session.

Based on your description, I would assume the problem lies buried somewhere
which only can be found by examining the MIF. But be aware of two things:
1. If you let FM substitute the fonts, saving the files as MIF won't
   let the original font be found, since it's already been substituted!
   You need to Remember Missing Fonts for this to work.
2. The font name present in the MIF may not be exactly the same font name
   displayed in the console window. Make sure to search only for a
   significant part of the family name, e.g. Bazooka, not BazookaNew-Roman.

This could be a problem with no longer used catalog definitions stored
in the book file itself. You may need to save the original version of the
book file with non-substituted fonts to MIF, and manually erase all
catalog and X-ref definitions. For more information, see:

I seriously doubt that, since the problem should show up as soon as you
open a file with such EPS graphics and display a page with an EPS.
Simply updating the book has nothing to do with EPS graphics, unless
your generated files also contain them.

BTW, do you by any chance delete the generated files between updates?
