Is there a reason inheritance with a different init signature can't be allowed?

No strong reason -- we just didn't really consider (or test) inheritance in the current design. Certainly proposals (and PRs) for a subclassing API would be welcome.

At the very least, a big fat warning in the documentation would be helpful.

http://xarray.pydata.org/en/stable/internals.html#extending-xarray has some related guidance (I agree it could be louder)
