Yes, you are right.  And even if it was bound an additional defvar (even
with an init value) would do no harm.  So simply put a

  (defvar foo)

to suppress the compiler warnings after double-checking that the
warnings are only caused by the fact that the variable is undefined only
at compile time and not at runtime.
