Normal.  Don't worry about it.

You're probably using a card that doesn't support overlays (i.e. NVIDIA
GF6600 or something).

You do realize you just upgraded to SVN head, right?  That means you
can't (with this database) go back to 0.19 or 0.19-fixes or 0.19.1 (when
released), etc.  If you run SVN head, make sure you read the -dev and
-commits lists.

This is the reason you don't get an OSD.  Change your OSD theme in the
frontend settings.
