One could if you ignore intent, but I wouldn't support that conclusion. The warning deals with return value and where it ends up. perldiag says:

... Very often this points not to stupidity on your part, but a failure of Perl to parse your program the way you thought it would...

so if you were to adapt perldiag example with andreas' example you get

#~ perl -MDDS -Mstrict -Mwarnings -le " my $hr; map { @{$hr->{$_}}{qw'
+ a b c '} = $_,$_,$_ ; } 1; Dump($hr) "
#~ perl -MDDS -Mstrict -Mwarnings -le " my $hr; map { @{$hr->{$_}}{qw'
+ a b c '} = ( $_,$_,$_ ); } 1; Dump($hr) "
#~ perl -MDDS -Mstrict -Mwarnings -le " my $hr; $_ = 1; @{$hr->{$_}}{q
+w' a b c '} = $_,$_,$_ ; Dump($hr) "
#~ perl -MDDS -Mstrict -Mwarnings -le " my $hr; $_ = 1; @{$hr->{$_}}{q
+w' a b c '} = ( $_,$_,$_ ); Dump($hr) "
