The issue is to show the warning when "something is broken", not always. Let me
repeat:

*Only* when the old spreadsheet already had *user-defined* ranges, and *only*
when some of those ranges had names that were valid on older versions, but not
in newer versions, *only then* (i.e., when the document *already* has invalid
range names, and it only works because we implement a workaround) should a
message be shown ...

> What exactly would be the warning (or is it an information) and what action
> would the infobar provide?

... with something like

"Some of the named ranges used in the spreadsheet have invalid names that
conflict with row/column names:
* num1
* mom2
* kit3

Press this button to open Named ranges dialog and rename these ranges."
