Looks like the warnings occur depending on the types used in the unit tests.
For example, the warning mentioned above comes from the test code:

///
typedef variant< short, const char* > t_var2;
typedef variant< unsigned short, const char*, t_var2 > t_var5;
typedef variant< unsigned short, const char*, t_var5 > t_var6;

t_var6 v6;
v6 = 58;
///

Which looks like a legitimate warning about converting an integer (58) to a
short.
