I don't know about your specific question but...

You have to run Dialyzer against tests. This is the best way to catch 
the errors like the one in gen_statem:start_monitor because you need to 
have calls to these functions for Dialyzer to do its work, and tests 
tend to cover the entire public interface.

This does mean that some tests need to silence some Dialyzer warnings 
when you do things wrong on purpose, though.
