Yeah.  That's strange.  I'm not convinced this fix is correct.  I'm
hesitant to suggest this but maybe the following is the correct fix?
It just silences the warning but doesn't change runtime.

I don't know.  *shrug*.  One thing that we could do is just leave the
warning as-is until someone who knows better than we do can take a look
at it.
