For example, gcc complains that a variable may be used unitialized (when often it cannot), and setting an initial value causes coverity (with its mightier brains) to warn that initial value is never used.  Quite annoying.

Yeah, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if fixing a warning for one 
compiler or coverity sometimes triggers a different warning with 
another compiler.  But I think it's worthwhile to keep the number of 
warnings low.  It's all too easy to miss something important if it's 
in the middle of bunch of other warnings.
