Yes, basically, the author said he didn't care and it wasn't virtual by design, and the compiler warning was bogus.
In the meantime, it's a major annoyance for all users of this library. I'm hoping a sufficient amount of people can point it out to convince the author to include the fix.
A better tactic would be to help him reproduce the warning. It looks like he's using '#pragma GCC system_header' which IIRC is an imperfect warning suppression mechanism - although I forget why. So I guess you're hitting whatever the weakness is. Gcc 4.6 added pragmas for pushing and popping warning state in a similar manner to Visual C++, maybe they could be used (obviously won't work for older versions).
