SLOW DOWN in hyperspace

Sometimes I want to jump to a system which is behind the planet. I have to supercruise for a few seconds so that the target system is just above the horizon, then I can jump.

If I get too close to the planet just before hyperspace triggers then the SLOW DOWN message appears. I'm not sure why but maybe this is another part of supercriuse physics I don't understand.

What's wrong IMHO is that the message stays visible while I am in hyperspace.

Thanks,
 
I get that sometimes too. It's because any time when you get close enough to a massive object you get the slow down message. I think the warning is there so you don't accidentally slam into the side of a planet. But the mechanic doesn't appear to always take your trajectory into account.
My guess is the 'slow down' message in hyperspace is simply a very minor bug.
