That's because EIEIO's older `defmethod' always counted as
a "full" definition.  We can fix those warnings in one of the following ways:
- Add a corresponding cl-defgeneric.
- Add a corresponding `require' which loads the package where the
  corresponding `cl-defgeneric' is found.
- Reorder the code so that the cl-defmethod appears before the call(s).
- Change cl-generic.el to use the same kind of bytecompiler hack that
  eieio used to use instead if using `declare-function'.
