If you have a [bounce] on a secure page then the warning will be to
inform users that although they submitted a form securely, they are
being redirected to an insecure page.

You may be able to avoid the message by bouncing to another secure
page.  If not then try a 'META Refresh' with a couple of seconds delay
and a notice to show users that they are being redirected.

Another option would be to not use [bounce] at all and simply set your
mv_nextpage to the actual target.  You could always use a mv_click
or mv_check callback to handle whatever processing needs to be
performed.
