But, *Warning* buffer is still there, and thus you can
click a character by mouse shown under the line:
"However, each of them encountered these problematic characters:"
to jump to that character.

How about typing C-g prints:
Jump to the first problematic character? (y or n)
and when 'y' is typed, move point to that character?
