The Issues pane shows both “issues from the compilation” and “issues from the code model”.
Have a look at the filter drop down menu in the output pane’s tool bar for a list of issue categories.

So, the Issues pane shows code model issues from the currently visible file(s). You can turn that off by unchecking the category in the dropdown.

What sometimes happens to me:
- I edit a file, do not realize that there is an error.
- I compile.
- The issues pane now contains two items for the same issue: One from the compilation error, one from the code model.
- If I fix the error in code, the code model issue goes away, the compile issue stays until I recompile.

Maybe something like that happens for you?
