The conflicts are probably fine.  Without getting into a long discussion
about grammars and parsers, it has to do with the parser grammar definition
in the parser.y grammar file.  It could have been intentional, sometimes
these are necessary.

Perform the rest of the steps and continue testing.  If there are still
problems after checking everything else, then there is a chance the grammar 
is wrong.  That is not a trivial thing to fix though, so hopefully the bug
lies elsewhere :)
