I was lazy, though, and didn't add a call to resetwarnings() in each module where I added a warning filter; indeed, we never call resetwarnings() anywhere now.

You don't need to, as long as the filterwarnings() arguments specify the current file and the specific error message you're suppressing. Calling resetwarnings() should be avoided, because it may enable warnings that were disabled by default or globally on purpose.
