One issue is that those ignorable warnings spam the debug output and make it difficult to spot real warnings. The draw_buffer warning is only one of them, Apple also warns about BindAttribLocation calls for undefined Attributes. At some point the driver seems to cut off further warnings, so real issues get lost.
My other concern is that some GL implementations do not realize that draw_buffers isn't really used, and turns on things we do not need because we request the extension. I doubt this applies to macos, its optimizer is quite sane as far as I can see. I agree that this patch makes the glsl code a bit more complex, and I am fine with keeping it in my junk branch. But I think having it in the tree makes the life easier for newcomer developers and users by making sure they don't get flooded with false warnings. (Not that we have any mac d3d developers except me, but false warnings won't help with that).
