    I suppose the byte-compiler should either refrain from using
    `display-warning'

That would be very drastic and cause a lot of inconvenience
in the normal situation where there is no bug!

		      or, if `pop-up-windows' and `pop-up-frames' are nil,
    not display a warning until compilation is complete.

The solution that occurs to me is that `display-warning' should
bind `pop-up-windows' to t in that case.
