I didn't think about that.

I don't use Emacs so I'm just guessing here, but depending on how
haskell-mode works, you might be able to keep ghci happy by putting
":set -Wwarn" in your "~/.ghci" file, which should hopefully set
warnings to be warnings again for ghci only. However, this may mean
that ghci can compile a module where ghc refused and you're back where
you started.
