I was thinking of the

(condition-case nil
    (foo)
  (error))

case...  (I.e., with a missing handler body.)  I'm not sure whether
that's supposed to or not.  A handler is defined as

(CONDITIONS BODY...)

but a BODY in many other circumstances are allowed to be missing.

Also note that

(condition-case nil
    (foo))

doesn't give a warning.
