The line number is that of the first form of the function the
questionable code is in. That makes sense, since the problem is in
that function. It is *not* the call of char-before that's bogus. It's
that its return value isn't used in the caller, c-end-of-defun. Any
line of that function could contain the oversight. What line number
would in your view make more sense to report?

And yes, improving the optimiser to report `char-before' instead of
`char-after' would be nice. I doubt that it would help anyone who
can't find the problem with the current (quite good) message though.
