What we're returning is actually a GObject from the DOMObjectCache, not the WebCore object. So the general pattern looks fine.
I don't see anything wrong with the code. Maybe there could be a bug in DOMObjectCache, but if so, we're not going to find it from this useless warning. I'm just going to suppress it and move on. Spent too much effort already squinting at these deprecated functions.
