(See the best response by Lummox JR.)
Code:
var Event_System/ES = new

Event_System
    New()
        var list/timers = new
        var id, list/l, o
        var tick = world.tick_lag
        for()
            for(id in global.events)
                l = global.events[id]
                timers[id]++
                if(timers[id] >= l[3])
                    timers[id] = 0
                    if(l[1]==null)
                        call(l[2])()
                    else if(islist(l[1]))
                        for(o in l[1])
                            call(o,l[2])()
                    else
                        call(l[1],l[2])()
            sleep(tick)

var list/events = new

proc/AddEvent(id,object,function_path,timer)
    if(object)
        global.events[id] = list(object,function_path,timer)
    else
        global.events[id] = list(null,function_path,timer)
    return TRUE

proc/RemoveEvent(id)
    global.events -= id

mob/Login()
    AddEvent("Hunger",src,/mob/proc/StatusUpdate,30)

mob/proc/StatusUpdate()
    world << "Beep!"

The problem is the compiler can't figure out if you're doing a .dll call or not in the call(l[1],l[2]) line because it doesn't know what l[1] is.

However I think it'd probably be better for me to change the compiler not to use the .dll instruction for these cases.

I've also seen this happen whenever I mess with call.

I suspected that might be the case, but it's kinda hard to buy that explanation when it's solved by not actually giving the compiler any more information:
mob
    verb/test()
        var/list/stuff = list(src, /mob/proc/Blah)
        //call(stuff[1], stuff[2])() // Causes DLL warning
        
        var/a = stuff[1]
        var/b = stuff[2]
        call(a, b)() // Doesn't cause DLL warning
    
    proc/Blah()
        world.log << "[src] blah"
