I don't think this is a false positive -- coverity has correctly
identified the variable as unused.  Perhaps you should tag the issue as
"Intentional"?

Longer term, I think libxl should move away from its profusion of macros
that declare local variables -- I think you nicely demonstrated that
they are confusing and that it's easy to forgot what they actually do.
