Ok, great :) I was surprised myself to see it pick that up but I've rerun it changing only the function name and that is sufficient to supresses the warning. I get the impression that Apple bundle the static analyser a few releases behind the cutting edge, which they (or someone) contribute to --- see the release notes if you're interested [1].
