Just recapping a bit here.  A less confusing function to reproduce the
problem:

;;; -*- lexical-binding: t -*-

(let ((data-item 1)
      (more-data 2))
  (defun echo-data (data)
    (interactive (list data-item))
    (message "data: %s %s" more-data data)))

This leads to the following warnings on the trunk:

In toplevel form:
foo.el:3:8: Warning: Unused lexical variable `data-item'
foo.el:6:24: Warning: reference to free variable ‘data-item’
