I think you're missing the point.

The ads can be turned off for all users EXCEPT for IB staff that are investigating the problem.

Gives them a little more "encouragement" to find the issue faster too, since it's impacting their bottom line.

Many people have reported in this thread that it's only happening 1x per day. So for their testing purposes, they'd basically need to do this:
1) Launch browser
2) If you get the bogus message, investigate
3) If you do not, close the browser, clear all cookies, go back to step 1.
