On my Debian/unstable machine, I've downgraded the emacs packages
to stable with
aptitude install emacs-gtk/stable emacs-bin-common/stable emacs-common/stable
emacs-el/stable
(thus to GNU Emacs 28.2), and... I can now see the warnings:
Warning (comp): po-mode.el:1068:14: Warning: ‘write-contents-hooks’ is an

So, the bug is not fixed in gettext-el.
I can actually see warnings in the Async-native-compile-log buffer
with GNU Emacs 29 (current Debian/unstable version); see below. So,
what has changed is that Emacs now hides the warnings.
In short:
* GNU Emacs 28 shows annoying warnings. This should be regarded
as a bug, but this will probably be never fixed in this version
for Debian/stable (and Debian/unstable is not affected as it
has GNU Emacs 29), so I don't think that it is useful to clone
the bug.
* The warnings are still present (but hidden), so that the bug is
actually not fixed. Since GNU Emacs 29 hides them, I've lowered
the severity to minor.
Here are the details of the warnings (note that the compilation of
the other .el files does not yield any warning; this is specific
to po-mode.el):
