If it were intended by the package author, where is the problem of
adding
;; byte-compile-warnings: (not unknown-keyword)
to the package's local variables section?

I don't see why `Keywords' shouldn't be appropriate for elisp programs
installable via package.el. It's not that it re-defines its meaning.
The benefit of using it is that it's already there most of the time. A
new field would take some time to get picked up. And I'm pretty sure
you won't see any occurrence of
;; Keywords: modeline, electronic mail
;; Package Keywords: mode-line, email
even if there was a new field.
