This is a simple reflexion : when glpk diagnose that a Linear programming program has no solution this is not an error but a diagnose in MixedIntegerLinearProgram. So the result should be only a warning that there is not feasible solution not a list of errors

This is not specific to glpk solver, and absence of solutions is serious enough to raise an exception rather than giving just a warning. Anyway, you can easily catch this exception by enclosing .solve() into try and except like in the example below:

from sage.numerical.mip import MIPSolverException

M = MixedIntegerLinearProgram()
x = M.new_variable()
M.add_constraint(x[0] == 0)
M.add_constraint(x[0] == 1)
try:
    M.solve()
except MIPSolverException:
    print("No feasible solution")
