Would false positives happen here?  Would it fail "make check" and CI, even
if the change was intended?

Yes. In that case, the quick fix is to remove the problematic piece from the 7.2 json files. Or we could try to improve the vmstate-static-checker script. At least we now notice it immediately, not only after a long delay until someone runs the script manually again.

But yes, this can be confusing for the who runs into this problem for the first time. I guess I should at least add some friendly words here with instructions what has to be done?
