I would say this can be considered correct. This warning is really
intended to let the user know that a specialization hasn't occurred;
fixing this may require changes in code which they have little control
over (e.g. adding an inline pragma to an upstream library).

Regardless, this behavior probably ought to be a bit better documented.
I've opened D1829 fixing this.
