That warning probably is caused by the scripts/exim_install script.
Around line 220 the built Exim is called with -bV -C /dev/null.
While we suppress warnings in the test/check modes (-bt, -bv, …), we do
not suppress warnings for -bV, since this is used for verification
purposes of your configuration. And while /dev/null is a valid
configuration, it's triggering that warning.
(And I even think, that the warning about keep_environment should
appear … )

Yes, that's the warning from the installation step, it went into your
paniclog (compare the timestamps: 00:16:35).
If you - after the installation - call exim -bV, no warning should
appear anymore.
