Confirmed.  This way it becomes an always may-be warning because a function
may not actually be executed (apart from main()).  Almost all warnings behave
this way btw.  GCC is in this case seeing

 free (&shared_null);

and considers this a good thing to warn on.

So would you consider printing

warning: possible attempt to free a non-heap object 'shared_null'

a fix?  Unconditionally, as we really cannot prove a line of code _will_
be executed at runtime (we can replace the free by an abort call though ...).
