Whoever originated this message discovered that entering

10.17487/rfc826

into the box on the website https://dx.doi.org/

gives a "not found" message.

Clearly there has to be agreement between the person who instantiated
the IETF DOIs in the first place, and the person who maintains/generates
the RFC BibTeX format.

As you say, I don't think that the person who generated the DOIs thought
about RFC numbers greater than 9999.  And it will happen quite soon. 
(Somewhat like exhausting IPv4 addresses...  :-) )
