I just tried the above and sure enough, the "WIDE2-1,MD2-2" path
triggers the annoyance popup (should we add a talking paperclip
graphic to that dialog?).  "WIDE1-1,WIDE2-2" does not.

Obviously the code that tries to figure out maximum path length is
triggering on the first of each number-set instead of the second.
That code was most likely written before the 2-1 path element became
prevalent.
