I came across this issue because I've suddenly had the same error messages today while executing qubesctl on my user_salt states. Though it was followed by
[CRITICAL] Specified ext_pillar interface qvm_features is unavailable
[CRITICAL] Specified ext_pillar interface qvm_prefs is unavailable
[CRITICAL] Specified ext_pillar interface qvm_tags is unavailable
and then again

In this Issue [https://github.com//issues/8491] someone suggested sudo qubesctl saltutil.sync_all and I assume this resolved the error, at least for me. (TBH, I've also run qubesctl state.sls qubes.user-dirs and don't know which command really fixed the issue).
But as you want to run the update.qubes-dom0 where no user env is involved, maybe sudo qubesctl saltutil.sync_all fixes your issue? For me it did, the update.qubes-dom0 gave me the same error mentioned above but works for me after doing the saltutil.sync_all.

I got the same warning when I ran the GUI update for dom0. The update itself was successful despite it. I will restart Qubes, run the qubesctl command, and restart Qubes again for good measure. I hope the warning won't show in the next update. Time will tell.

I update my Qubes 4.2 regularly, so I don't know what minor version I use.

Edit: Didn't work. I still get the warning.

@Solomon1732 Does sudo qubesctl saltutil.sync_all fix it?

[Solomon1732]

No. I wrote as much in the the edited part of my above message.

[Solomon1732]

Update: I updated Qubes again to the latest packages. This time the warning did not show up. I have no idea why.

looks like fixed from my side (template is fedora 41):
