but none of them contains EA.

what you said above can mean that if there's "no EA or no FSA" in archive
but file in place "has EA or FSA".

If the logic is implemented like this, both conditions are true, because
file in archive no EA (first condition) and file on filesystem has FSA
(second condition), thus warning is issued.

Looking at the source I can't quickly decide if this is the issue.
(I understand C/C++ but am not a programmer and it takes time for me to
understand code)

can you please look if I got it right?
