This is normal operation. The reasoning is that we want to be good to the 
upstream infrastructure and don't want all OE users hammer on the SCM Servers 
of the upstream project to checkout a static tarball.

This is why OE tries to download a snapshot from a tarball stash, in your case 
two have been tried and then it falls back to the SCM of the upstream 
directly.

Now one can argue that another output on the console would be nice... but so 
far no one has been bothered enough to do it. Help is greatly appreciated and 
I can point you to the places in bitbake and classes/base.bbclass.
