Yup, same kind of problem as discussed in the "Cleaning up code" thread.
When compiling for lexical scoping, the condition case above gets turned
internally into something akin to:

 (condition-case :use-lexical-calling-convention
     (ignore)
   (file-error (lambda (err) (ignore)))
   (error (lambda (err) (message "%s" (error-message-string err)))))

so as you can see, we now have two separate declarations of `err' one of
which is unused.
There's a secondary bug as well in that the warning says "argument"
rather than "variable", but that's minor.
