That's a confusing message from RViz as far as I can tell, please see
http://ros-users.122217.n3.nabble.com/rviz-with-MarkerArray-td2216853.html#a2230304

Are you displaying the topic "occupied_cells_vis" as mentioned in the 
instructions at octomap.sf.net?

What exactly are you trying to do with a ScanNode? From what I can tell, 
read_pointcloud.cpp is deprecated and you should use "log2graph" instead 
which does the same thing if you want to import plain text data. It 
definitely works, and read_pointcloud will be deleted in the future. 
Nevertheless, I can reproduce the problem and will have a look at it.

I don't have an idea about your other question regarding 
collision_octomap with octomap2, but maybe Kai knows about the current 
status. The wiki page definitely says that it's unreleased and for 
internal use only...

Best regards,
Armin
