What's the issue here? The only unusual thing I can see in that query is selecting from three possible alert messages.

This issue is the second flow call (UnsafeWebViewFetchFlow::flowToExpr) in the third disjunct: we can't include it in the location override because of monotonic recursion, but if we exclude it then the --check-diff-informed test fails, as it usually does with these cases of secondary flows. So we can't make these queries diff-informed, but their incrementality story will be handled separately using overlay-informed dataflow.

Thanks for the explanation.
