Applied, with slight modifications, thanks.

This is wrong.  `an-ext.tmac' is sourced by `an-old.tmac' (and
`an.tmac' eventually sources `an-old.tmac').  Maybe you are using a
wrong version of `an-old.tmac'?

This is tricky.  The `-w' flags of groff have no influence on the
preprocessors, and the warning is written by tbl into the (expanded)
source file.  It is possible to extend tbl with a global option to
`silence' the created output, but honestly, I don't see much need for
it.  It *is* a typographic error if your table is either squeezed or
is sticking out to the right.  If it annoys you too much simply
redirect stderr to a file...
