Yes, that's correct. These are issues that come from the time when the
compiler didn't support any qualifiers. That is, it had support for
qualifiers, but "support" at that time did only mean that the compiler skipped
the relevant keywords when it found them. Having real support for qualifiers
in types is rather new.

These two have a similar reason than the missing const in the header file:
Qualifier support is rather new, and the compiler is too strict when comparing
types in the above cases. I've fixed the problems, see the bugs page for a
patch.
I will have a look at the other two cases as soon as I find some time
(hopefully this morning). Thanks a lot for the report!
