Weird gcc behaviour with function pointer types

In my quest to eliminate C compiler warnings from
Pyrex output, I've discovered some utterly bizarre
behaviour from gcc 3.3.
The following code:
void g(struct foo *x) {
}
void f(void) {
void (*h)(struct foo *);
h = g;
}
produces the following warning:
blarg.c: In function `f':
blarg.c:6: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
However, adding the following line at the top:
typedef struct foo Foo;
makes the warning go away. The mere *presence* of
the typedef is all that's needed -- it doesn't even
have to be used.
This looks like a bug in gcc to me -- what do people
think?
