No, but there should be.

>   <warnings>
>     <ApiPageSet>
>       Too many values supplied for parameter 'titles': the limit is 50
>     </ApiPageSet>
>   </warnings>

Yes. The code in the tag is the name of the module that threw the warning (so your example is a bug: the tag should be <query>), and the warnings themselves are inside the tag, separated by newlines.
