It's not GStreamer that outputs this message if jackd isn't installed.
You could file a bug report with your distro if it annoys you too much.

Don't think I have ever seen that message.  It doesn't look
GStreamer-related to me.  Maybe it's GUI-related? (ATK is the
accessibility toolkit Gtk/Gnome use).  Best to ask the usual support
channels/forums for that user's distro IMO.

You could also ask the user to run your application in a debugger with
G_DEBUG=fatal_warnings, then it will break at the line of code that
prints the warning and you can look at the stack trace and get a better
idea where it comes from and maybe even what causes it.
