 It's not obvious to me that the warning is wrong.  Pixmaps probably
 "should" only be specified with a tag-set meaning "graphical
display". 
Mmm, and XLFD font specs “should” only be specified with a tag set meaning
“X11”; but that’s never been true and it is against the spirit of the
specifier API.

...
 OTOH, it's reasonable for DWIM functions like specifier-instance
and
 set-specifier to try to do something about this. In the case of
 specifier-instance, maybe it's OK to simply suppress the warning. 
 set-specifier OTOH might want to helpfully add such a tag-set.
