[erlang-questions] Dialyzer cannot catch gen_server callback return type error

Hello
I got error when gen_server callback returns not a proper process state,
but another erlang term(), and dialyzer not warns me about this.
After specification of Module:handle_cast/2 with
-spec handle_cast(Msg :: term(), State :: #state{}) -> {noreply, NewState
:: #state{}}.
where #state{} is record of process state, it not warns too (it also not
warns about {stop, normal, State} return value).
Code of callback:
handle_cast({message}, _State) ->
NewState = {bugotak},
{noreply, NewState};
Is it possible to make that dialyzer can see this mistake? Does it check
types of gen_server callbacks?
