I'd say the problem is an artefact of CGEN code generation, as
the conditions are exhaustive. In the generated code it's far
from obvious though...

Ok with a comment saying something to the effect of "It's not
obvious in generated code that all cases are covered in the
conditional settings below, so initialize this to avoid compiler
warnings" (and referring to the previous comment for all but the
first).
Thanks!
