bug#41287: 28.0.50; Spurious warning "Unused lexical"

[Michael Albinus]

I have the following defun in tramp.el (my local repo)

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun tramp-get-signal-strings ()
  "Strings to return by `process-file' in case of signals."
  ;; We use key nil for local connection properties.
  (with-tramp-connection-property nil "signal-strings"
    (let (result)
      (if (and (stringp shell-file-name) (executable-find shell-file-name))
          (dotimes (i 128 (reverse result))
            (push
             (if (= i 19) 1 ;; SIGSTOP
               (call-process
                shell-file-name nil nil nil "-c" (format "kill -%d $$" i)))
             result))
        (dotimes (i 128 (reverse result))
          (push (format "Signal %d" i) result))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Compiling this, I get

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
tramp.el:5065:1: Warning: Unused lexical variable ‘i’
tramp.el:5065:1: Warning: Unused lexical variable ‘i’
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

`i' is used in both `dotimes' loops. What does the compiler tell me?

Best regards, Michael.
