As I wrote the patch, I do. ;-)
The warning is triggered when the free space goes below the specified  
value, not when the used space goes above. Hence, if you have no limit  
on the message count, no warning on the message count will ever be  
executed.

Moreover, if the free space is already below the specified value, no  
warning is triggered. It is only triggered when a message *brings* the  
free space below the specified value.


Hope this helps,
