That's actually a bug -- the assignment _=foo should erase $_ , I think.
} % for _ in a b c; do echo $_ hi; done
} hi
} hi hi
} hi hi

If you go back to the original message in the thread, the whole point
was to use $_ as a dummy variable that didn't need to be declared and
whose value was instantly discarded. For that purpose, the warning is
extraneous.
Admittedly that's a pretty constrained use case.
