OK, I found a really stupid bug.  I was passing the data start offset
(pe_start) through to blk_stack_limits() in terms of sectors rather than
bytes.  The following should silence your warnings:

diff --git a/drivers/md/dm-table.c b/drivers/md/dm-table.c
index 4899ebe..2cba557 100644
--- a/drivers/md/dm-table.c
+++ b/drivers/md/dm-table.c
@@ -495,7 +495,7 @@ int dm_set_device_limits(struct dm_target *ti, struct dm_dev *dev,
 		return 0;
 	}
 
-	if (blk_stack_limits(limits, &q->limits, start) < 0)
+	if (blk_stack_limits(limits, &q->limits, start << 9) < 0)
 		DMWARN("%s: target device %s is misaligned",
 		       dm_device_name(ti->table->md), bdevname(bdev, b));
