WebRequestHandler gives odd IDisposable warning

Question

Okay, I'm afraid I'm a bit lost on this one. The following code gives a CA 2000 warning that "'new WebRequestHandler()' is not disposed along all exception paths".

this.webHandler = new WebRequestHandler()
{
    AllowAutoRedirect = true,
    AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.Deflate | DecompressionMethods.GZip,
    CachePolicy = new RequestCachePolicy(RequestCacheLevel.BypassCache),
    CookieContainer = cookies,
    ReadWriteTimeout = 5000
};

I struggled with that for a good 20 minutes before discovering that what I'm convinced is functionally the same code does not give that same warning.

this.webHandler = new WebRequestHandler();
this.webHandler.AllowAutoRedirect = true;
this.webHandler.AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.Deflate | DecompressionMethods.GZip;
this.webHandler.CachePolicy = new RequestCachePolicy(RequestCacheLevel.BypassCache);
this.webHandler.CookieContainer = cookies;
this.webHandler.ReadWriteTimeout = 5000;

Obviously, the solution is to use the latter approach (or just suppress the warning), but is there something wrong with the first approach that I'm just not aware of?

Searching more broadly, I just found my answer: using object initializer generates CA 2000 warning

This one can be closed as a duplicate.
