Comment (by 2piix):

 Yes, now that I've looked closer, I'm noticing that the spurious warnings
 happen when I'm performing an Acid-State update.

 The full warning is:
 {{{

 src/Yesod/Foundation.hs:476:16: Warning:
     A do-notation statement discarded a result of type EventResult
                                                          AddUser.
     Suppress this warning by saying "_ <- lift
                                             (($)
                                                acidUpdate
                                                Brilliance.Query.AddUser
                                                  (Brilliance.User.User
                                                     ((^.) auth
 Brilliance.userId) f l))"
 }}}

 EventResult AddUser ''happens'' to be (), under a type family definition.
 That is, I have code of the form

 {{{
   instance SomeClass AddUser
     type EventResult AddUser = ()
 }}}
