I don’t think that explains it (or perhaps I did not understand your response correctly).
Here is the same issue with a custom type (which does not have a failable initializer):
struct A { }
if let a = A() { }
// error: initializer for conditional binding must have Optional type, not 'A'
if let a: A = A() { }
// warning: non-optional expression of type 'A' used in a check for optionals

I think it did an unnecessary implicitly casting. For example,
let y = Int(exactly: 5)
print(type(of:y)) // Optional<Int>
You code equals to
if let y:Int = Int(exactly: 5) { }
However, I don't know why it did that. Maybe because of type inferring?

Tested with Xcode 8.3.2 and both the build-in Swift 3.1 toolchain and the Swift 4.0 snapshot from May 25, 2017.
I am just curious and would like to understand if there is fundamental difference between those statements.
if let a: A = A() { // this is a warning as it treats like always true
print("something") // this line always runs
}
For
if let a = A() { // show an error as the compiler thinks you are missing
something.
}
For me, the first example, explicitly given the type of `a`, so it is a
warning. The second example, is one step farther than the first one. And it
is shown as an error.
Each one of them is correct by itself. But putting together, there is a
self-contradictory feeling.
