tid() is a built-in opaque type for ETS table identifiers.
These cannot be redefined.

However, the warning you have run into predates the introduction of 
remote types and is probably a bug.  Although one should currently use 
tid() to refer to ets:tid(), it should be possible to use a tid() type 
that one of their modules export.

I'll put looking into this issue on my todo list.
