The third and fourth opt run produce different function attributes from those produced by the first two, so the function is different insofar as update_test_prefix is concerned. The warnings are there to indicate that the listed prefixes end up not being used. But, that's 'by design' for the attributor tests, IIRC.

TBH, before, the warnings meant there is a problem that needs fixing. Now they mean, there might be one or not. So, depending on your setup it's just noise while it was pure signal before.
I'm not sure how this is more helpful. What is the use case where this way of warning helps?
