What I have done to avoid these sorts of problems is to put a rule
early in 'errorformat' that matches the unwanted lines and tells Vim
to ignore them. Here's an example of one such rule from my
cppcheck.vim plugin.

set errorformat^=%-G%#:0:\ information:%.%# " Ignores "*:0: information: ..."

See

:help efm-ignore
:help set^=

HTH,
