incorrect byte-compiler warning for condition-case handler value |

I have a condition-case such as this:
(condition-case toto
(titi)
(error (error-message-string foo)))
My understanding is that in case of error, the error message string
will be returned, which is what I want.
However, the byte compiler flags this:
foo.el:4039:27:Warning: value returned from (error-message-string foo) is
unused
I don't think that warning text is correct. IIUC, the value is used
(returned from the condition-case) if an error occurs. Unless I'm
misunderstanding, this would be like warning that in (if foo bar) the
result of evaluating bar is unused.
