Ahhhhhhh.

It's probably an extremely trivial difference, if any difference is 
perceptible, but the noisy warning makes debug versions of Rosegarden abort.

I don't think that worked, even though it should have.

It doesn't bother me that they're shipping a debug version as such, as 
it makes it easier for them to provide useful crash reports.  If they're 
going to do something weird and non-standard like that, though, it would 
be good of them to adopt a weird and non-standard patch to main.cpp to 
go along with this.  Disable the offending line in the OpenSuSE version 
and that should be that.  Nobody else ships a debug version.
