I agree, a red circle is perfect for the recording icon.

As a user, I would vote for leaving it as it is.  The first time I
noticed
it, I hadn't read in the manual what it was, but immediately thought
"that
looks like 'record' to me".  Regardless of any standard that declares
that
red must ONLY be used for warnings, I doubt anyone would assume that
tiny
blinking red circle, with NO text explaining it, is a warning of a
problem. 
XCSoar developers have consistantly demonstrated a rational approach the
displays, and as such, I wouldn't expect they'd put a 'warning' in the
very
corner of the display. All other warnings are pretty much IN YOUR FACE.
Unless the developers are receiving an overwhelming number of complaints
or
questions,  I'd leave it alone.
