Manuel will probably have more concrete bugs but this search:
http://llvm.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=scan-build&list_id=52006
already shows plenty of them.
Just look for "false positive" (please note that we might have some
duplicate).

FYI, I am running once a day scan-build on llvm toolchain (llvm + clang
+ lldb + compiler-rt + polly) base code:
http://buildd-clang.debian.net/scan-build/
If you want to see on a real base code the advantages / drawbacks.
