There is not much to say here, nor anything fishy is cooking. It's just 
that or's/orelse's in guards are not so common in their proper treatment 
is not so easy.

Neither erlc not dialyzer ever promised that it will generate all 
possible warnings. In fact, as far as dialyzer is concerned the only 
thing that was promised is that it will not generate a false warning.

Now, having written that, thanks for your mail because it gives us a 
concrete test case to improve erlc and/or dialyzer.
