The manual says:

"""
When an unrecognized warning option is requested (e.g.,
@option{-Wunknown-warning}), GCC emits a diagnostic stating
that the option is not recognized.  However, if the @option{-Wno-} form
is used, the behavior is slightly different: no diagnostic is
produced for @option{-Wno-unknown-warning} unless other diagnostics
are being produced.  This allows the use of new @option{-Wno-} options
with old compilers, but if something goes wrong, the compiler
warns that an unrecognized option is present.
"""

In your example another diagnostic _is_ produced.
