My problem is that I'm not sure they're _always_ harmless.  We know that
grohtml sometimes gets confused and really does manage to produce blank
images where content should be.  (I assume in the harmless case, they
are blank images corresponding to no meaningful formatted content.)  But
I've never root caused it, nor do I have a reliable reproducer for when
actual damage is done; I just know if I've seen it more than once, but
always while I was in a white heat hammering on something else, and
neglected to freeze the configuration to resurrect later at leisure.  I
am therefore a little bit loath to silence the warnings.
