Employer contributed $3350 to my HSA 4/1//17 for 2016.I will pre-tax $4400 today. Box 12 of 2017 W-2 will show $7,750 and I only have single coverage. Is that a problem?

The Form 8889 will only report the $4,400 I am contributing pre-tax thru the 125 Plan (the employer contribution made 4/1/17 was reported on 2016 Form 8889), but I am concerned that Box 12 of the W-2 will show an amount in excess of the limit and trigger a problem.  Or, is Box 12 just informational and the IRS doesn't pay attention to it?
