NIntegrate doesn't know what you're trying to do. So, no, there shouldn't be a warning. If you look at the session transcript below, you'll see that f[x] already evaluates to a number. You have to restrict evaluation for f.

In[1]:= f = NIntegrate[Sin[x + #], {x, 0, 1}] &

Out[1]= NIntegrate[Sin[x + #1], {x, 0, 1}] & 

In[2]:= f[x]

Out[2]= 0.708073

In[3]:= NIntegrate[Sin[2x], {x, 0, 1}]

Out[3]= 0.708073

In[4]:= ClearAll[f]

In[5]:= f[y_?NumericQ] := NIntegrate[Sin[x + y], {x, 0, 1}]

In[6]:= f[x]

Out[6]= f[x]

In[7]:= NIntegrate[f[x], {x, 0, 0.1}]

Out[7]= 0.050097
