Thanks.

The *Warnings* buffer is there, it's just that the client frame
doesn't show it.  Why should it? how should it know you want that
particular buffer displayed without any indication from you?

Try this, and you will see the warning in the client frame:

  emacsclient -c --eval "(display-buffer \"*Warnings*\")"

I don't see a bug here.
