In a case like this I would presume that the warnings being correct for
the actual version of the software would be of higher priority.

In any case, to avoid too much confusion, the warning could be changed
from:

"Making look_at the last statement may help"

to:

"Making look_at the last statement may help if the version is set to
3.1"

or similar. But I think it would be better to drop it completely.
