This has never happened to me so I'm a bit confused.

GameObject someObject = Instantiate (Resources.Load ("Prefabs/Items/" + someName)) as GameObject;

This throws an error but the object is actually instantiated and everything works as intended. The error doesn't stop the program no matter how many times I reproduce this.

Can I ignore this error or is there some problem that I'm not seeing?

If the object is instantiated, then the error is coming from another instance of the script — you might accidentally have a second copy in your scene.

You can print out the path to the object on Start - or in a null check just before the offending line - to help track down unwanted scene duplicates.

You absolutely should not ignore this error.

At best, it's burning compute cycles unnecessarily. At worst, it's a sign that your game is doing something you don't fully understand, and that can be the root of much bigger problems down the line.
