Why doesn't this warning follow the format of other warnings emitted
by the byte compiler?
Compiling progmodes/cc-subword.el
!! File cc-vars.el uses old-style backquotes !!

Probably because I don't know what's the normal format.

I hope this is a joke (though it's way too far from April 1st),
because I think you wrote the code that produces the normal format,
e.g.:
In end of data:
net/browse-url.el:1555:1:Warning: the following functions are not known to be
defined: copy-seq, w3-fetch-other-window, w3-fetch, case, otherwise
In other words a format that `next-error' can parse.

Oh sorry, now I see it: the warning you talk about is the one from Fload (a
call to Fmessage), not the one from the byte-compiler, which is why it
doesn't follow the byte-compiler's format.

How about making it call byte-compile-warning when it is done
from inside the byte compiler?

Is it really worth the trouble?
Check again the message carefully : it's complaining about the use of
old-style backquote in cc-vars.el while compiling the cc-subword.el file.
So it wouldn't be able to give any line-number info anyway.
Furthermore the next-error-compatible warning will be displayed when
cc-vars.el gets compiled.

I didn't understand that aspect of the problem.
How about this message instead:
Loading `cc-vars.el': old-style backquotes detected.
That makes the relationships explicit
so that a person doesn't have to deduce them from the file names.
