I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting to know that a character was trans* up front. But at the same time, I hesitate to think it should be called a "warning," simply because I think it's ludicrous to warn for something like slash. Especially in certain fandoms where people still tend to call it "boykissing' or something equally inane. To me, listing the pairing itself should make it clear that it's slash, but if you feel the need to specify that, it could be a tag or something.

So, same for the trans* thing, especially if the character isn't trans* in canon. To me that's along the same lines as a genderbent fic. That's definitely something someone would indicate as it might not be everyone's cup of tea.

But then again, sometimes I wonder if we as fandom at large over-label things. Books don't come with warning labels of any kind, after all. But, so long as it's the general fandom norm to list pairings and tags and warn for certain things, I don't think it's unreasonable to at least include a tag for a trans* character (who's not one in canon), even if it's not exactly a warning.

The comparison to books isn't really accurate. With books there aren't any pre-set expectations besides the summary on the back cover. We don't go in expecting things to be from the canon that we already know, that the author might have AU'd to hell and back. A book can't AU itself, as it IS the canon.
