And I've received a reply from S. John Ross. I don't post e-mails without permission, so I'll paraphrase...
He'd heard about Warehouse 13 from the Whedonverse - I was the first to actually e-mail him about the show. He's also somewhat more easygoing about the matter than a lot of others; while the similar titles beside the similiar premises causes him to raise an eyebrow, S. John feels it's a likely coincidence. (He pointed out that there are plenty of one-word-and-two-digit-number names related to this field, such as Area 51, Majestic 12, and Hangar 18.) His only real concern with the show is whether it'll be any good, "as an eager viewer".
If the writer of the earlier work is only raising an eyebrow at the coincidence, who am I do do anything more? Mind you, I don't have a financial or IP stake in the issue, the way SJ Games does.
