These cases indeed need fixing, since they reveal unclean code.  If
there are more of them, I think we should fix them too.  But the bulk
of these warnings are not for this kind of problems.  I especially
dislike these warnings when the pointer is passed to a library
function.

I think so, yes.  We have better uses for our energy right now.
