The ISC server does **NOT** automatically fix this configuration error for you - but the above warning was added some years ago to alert people to the issue given that many were being caught out by it.

I tried making the pool smaller in case that was an issue and it 
complained about the static reservation not being in a subnet...

relevant excerpt from config:

subnet 1.1.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
   option routers 1.1.1.1;

   pool {
     range 1.1.1.2 1.1.1.250;
   }
}

host StaticCustomer {
     hardware ethernet 00:11:22:33:44:55;
     fixed-address 1.1.1.200;
}

host DyanmicCustomer {
     # keeps stealing address
     hardware ethernet 66:66:66:66:66:66;
     fixed-address 1.1.1.201;
}
