Same here.

So? (defun foo (a) (message "%s" a) 42) doesn't use
`a' in the value returned. We don't warn about that,
do we?

Doesn't seem right to have such a distinction. Is
this just an implementation artifact (essentially a
bug), or is there a good reason for the warning in
the first case (and not in the second)?
FWIW, all that Common Lisp says about its `dotimes'
in this regard is this:
"At the time result-form is processed, VAR is bound
to the number of times the body was executed."
Why should we warn, if the result form doesn't use
the variable?
