The tests aren't just asserting the bad behavior, they're also ensuring
that it doesn't get worse. 1 warning is ideal, 2-3 is bad, but
tolerable, but if we start emitting 500 of these it would be nice to
know.
I've found a couple of regressions like that in other areas, i.e. where
our tests didn't spot some output change because we were selectively
grepping things, but where it would have been nice to spot it at the
time.
