I'd be quite upset if that passed without any warning, but having just
tried a quick example project for both 16F and 18F targets both give a
warning for me.  The compiler versions I have are fairly old however,
maybe the newer ones are broken?

On the contrary one of the major annoyances (to me) was that perfectly
innocuous code could produce multiple warnings, making it hard to sort
the wheat from the chaff. E.g. the traditional do{ ... } while(0) used
to make a multi-line macro safe would raise 3 or 4 warnings wherever the
macro was invoked.
