Uph. It took me a while to understand what you are trying to say :)

I guess, this might be considered a bug. Here's the example of code to reproduce it. 

use warnings;

sub FUNC{ print "I'm in func\n"; }

{
    local(*FUNC) = sub { print "now overridden\n"; };
    FUNC();
}

FUNC();

The code above works correctly, but still produces warning. Somehow, warnings generator does not see that "local" shall save away old function reference and no redefining happens because after "local" function FUNC "does not exist" anymore.
