I think --test-full is primarily our own debugging feature. If someone
uses it, they're fine with the verbosity. No need to separately check
the verbosity level.
In this case, we're talking at most one spurious warning per format, and
we'll mute the known false positive ones with a whitelist in Kai's code.
