Why is it that the ERC tool generates warnings for POWER pins that are
connected to SUPPLY pins?
I know I can approve them but I still find it odd since in my opinion
device's POWER pins are precisely intended to be connected to SUPPLY pins
but apparently Eagle has a different opinion in this respect.

The other problem is that DRC does not check if you actually have a
supply for your design. The single pin supply symbols only act as a poor
page connector with implicit netname. This means it is easy to forget
that you may need a regulator or power input for the supply symbols
used. The DRC will not warn you about this.
IMHO a very important point you have raised that should be taken care of.
So far I have been lucky

I have been lucky too, but I did once end up with a regulator that was
not in use 
So maybe that could be part of the check.
But I have started to make output pins of any regulator or similar
device have "sup" direction on their output pins. This helps me
slightly, but I do get a lot of the op warning messages. I prefer those
messages over no warnings tho.

Same thoughts here with me
