It was me, who added linearalgebra functions like mat_trace to max_ext.lisp. 
I checked this with 5.11 on Windows. It works perfect and also it does now with 5.12rc1. 

Maxima 5.11.99rc1 http://maxima.sourceforge.net
Using Lisp GNU Common Lisp (GCL) GCL 2.6.8 (aka GCL)

Dedicated to the memory of William Schelter.
This is a development version of Maxima. The function bug_report()
provides bug reporting information.
(%i1) mat_trace(matrix([1,2],[3,4]));
(%o1) 				       5

No warnings. 
It seems that this is depending on the Lisp that Maxima uses. 
The functions are autoloaded with the help of some functions from src/autol.lisp, depending 
on the kind of function definition (defun, defmspec, defmacro or Maxima level definition by 
":=" ).

I would be interested, if all autoloaded functions give warnings or if only some kind of 
functions cause this. Can someone please check (sorry, I don't have a Linux system to 
check it by myself)

a) trigsimp( sin(x)^2 + cos(x)^2 );
b) resolvante (x, x, x, [x]); 
c) ascii(123);
d) printf(true,"Hello, world!");
e) polynomialp( sin(x),[x] );
f) ringeval( crering );

In case b) I also get warnings.
